Developing: At least one person was reportedly killed and as many as six others wounded in a shooting in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Monday night, according to RLS Media. The reported toll has not been officially confirmed in the available reports.
RLS Media said emergency responders were sent shortly before 9:45 p.m. to the area of Irvington Avenue and Elmwood Place after reports of multiple people being shot. Initial reports described four people struck by gunfire; the preliminary count later rose to as many as seven, the outlet reported. It said at least one victim was pronounced dead at the scene and others were taken to University Hospital in Newark.
A separate social-media post from the account Dirt_Diver_24_7 said there may have been as many as five victims, including one person in critical condition. That post does not independently establish the victim count or anyone’s condition. The original X post also described family members rushing emergency medical responders toward a hospital.
Times Now also reported a death and up to six people wounded, citing preliminary information obtained by RLS Media. It reported that authorities received a separate report of a person shot in the leg near 100 Union Street; the available reporting does not establish whether that report concerns the same incident.
RLS Media reported that the Union County Prosecutor’s Office had been notified and that investigators were working to determine what happened. Victims’ identities and the circumstances of the shooting had not been officially confirmed in the report. The investigation was described as ongoing.
