One person was killed and three others injured — including a 13-year-old — after a mass shooting in Paterson, New Jersey Saturday evening, a city official confirmed. The gunfire left people scrambling for help, as surveillance video showed the chaos.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened at East 29th Street and 10th Avenue in Paterson. Video obtained by NBC New York showed the aftermath. A man frantically called for help as three people were on the ground. One person stayed motionless as another struggled to make it to his feet.<\/p>\n
“I heard a lot. I heard a lot,” one man working nearby told News 4. What he heard was a series of loud gunshots echo through the air. Video obtained by News 4 includes what sounds like more than a dozen shots being fired. Witnesses say what happened next was mayhem as people rushed to aid those who were wounded.<\/p>\n
“A lot of gunshots, a lot of shots. People (saying) he shot the guy,” said the man. “People was screaming. People was crying.”<\/p>\n
Most of the victims are believed to be in their 20s, along with the 13-year-old who was injured, said City Council member Luis Velez. He says what led to the shooting is under investigation, but added that the area is known to be a hot spot for trouble. “Warm weather is coming out. People probably have a beef. They bring it to the street, and then innocent people probably get involved,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n
The three surviving victims, including the boy, are being treated at a hospital. It’s unclear if any of those victims were targets of that shooting, or if it was gang-related, as police continue to investigate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One person was killed and three others injured — including a 13-year-old — after a mass shooting in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1066,9,11,10],"class_list":{"0":"post-202385","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-new-jersey","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
