1 Person Dead, 5 Others Wounded At North Jersey Club Shooting: Police

One person died and five others were wounded after being shot in a North Jersey club early Sunday morning, police said.

Paterson Police officers responded to the club after being notified at 5:30 a.m. there was a shooting there, Paterson Police Director Jerry Speziale said in a press release. Police did not release the name of the club.

Responding officers found multiple people in the parking lot and inside the club shot, Speziale said. An ambulance took four of the victims to St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center's emergency room; one of them was pronounced dead at the hospital, he said. The victim's identity was not released because the family has not notified.

The other two victims got to the hospital on their own, Speziale said.

The Passaic County Prosecutor's Office and the Paterson Police Department are investigating the shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Paterson Police Detective Bureau at 973-321-1120.
