Multiple People Shot in Newark

Police in Newark, N.J., say at least six people have been wounded after gunfire erupted Monday afternoon.

No fatalities have been reported.

The shootings took place in the Kemsco Village housing complex, a series of two- and three-story brick houses separated by walkways in the city's North Ward.

A woman sitting on her front steps — who asked not to be identified — says she was outside washing her car around 1 p.m. when she heard "15 or 20 shots" and ran inside. She says shootings are not common in the complex.

It wasn't immediately clear what sparked the shootings. And details on the victims, their injuries or what types of weapons were used were not disclosed.
