3 Victims In Asbury Park Shooting: Prosecutors (UPDATED)

ASBURY PARK — Three people were shot in Asbury Park this week as more violence was reported in the Jersey Shore resort community, prosecutors said.

The incident happened about 10:30 p.m. Sunday when Asbury Park Police received a report of shots fired, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.

Police responded to the area of 26 Ridge Ave. and found three people shot, including two men and one woman, prosecutors said.

All three were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The investigation is active and ongoing at this time, prosecutors said.

Anyone who may have information should contact Detective Keith Finkelstein at monmouthcountycrimestoppers.com. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the shooting.

Authorities are dealing with a significant number of gun-related incidents in Asbury Park and Neptune Township since the beginning of the year.

They've resulted in two murders; another 13 shooting incidents that resulted in serious bodily injury; 15 confirmed incidents of shots fired; another 13 reports of shots fired that could not be substantiated; and the seizure of 37 handguns and one replica AK-47 rifle, prosecutors said.

"The violence this summer on the streets of Asbury Park and Neptune Township cannot be tolerated — law-abiding citizens of these communities cannot be forced to live in fear of these gun-toting criminals. No one should live in fear to walk on public streets outside your home. Our office will track down these criminals, we will find them and get them off the streets where they do the most damage to families, friends and neighborhoods," Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said.
