Double-shooting in Jersey City leaves two 19-year-olds in critical condition
By Ken Thorbourne/The Jersey Journal April 11, 2010, 1:40PM Photo by Joe Shine Police investigate scene of double-shooting at Halladay Street and Communipaw Avenue in Jersey City early Saturday. Two 19-year-olds -- one from Jersey City, the other from West New York -- are in critical condition at the Jersey City Medical Center after being shot in a dispute that stemmed from an argument over an ex-girlfriend, reports said. The shooting took place at about 2 a.m. Saturday at Communipaw Avenue and Halladay Street. The West New York man was shot twice in the right leg and once in the left leg, while the Jersey City man was shot once in the neck and once in the stomach. The injuries were not considered life-threatening, reports said. Responding to a report of shots fired, police found the victims in a Chrysler mini-van that had crashed into a parked Ford Mustang and then ricocheted into two other cars while hurtling down Halladay Street going the wrong way, reports said. A 20-year-old man told police he was sitting in the front passenger seat next to the 19-year-old Jersey City man when shots rang out, reports said. At that point, he noticed the Jersey City man had been hit, so he pushed him into the passenger seat, and then jumped behind the wheel and tried to speed away, reports said. The 20-year-old said the incident stemmed from an argument the West New York man, who was sitting in the back seat, had gotten into over his ex-girlfriend, reports said. None of the men said they saw who did the shooting, reports said. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the police at (201) 547-JAIL.
