Gunfire that blasted through a window and wounded two men Sunday put an end to a Jersey City house party after an argument broke out with people who did not want to pay the cover to be admitted, reports said.

When officers arrived at Bergen and Ege avenues at about 12:30 a.m. they found a 27-year-old Rose Street man in the residence. He said "I'm shot in the leg. They shot through the window," reports said.

A 31-year old Washington, D.C., man took off running after hearing gunfire, but when he got to the corner of Morton Place and Kennedy Boulevard he realized he had been shot in the ankle, reports said.

Witnesses told police there was a cover charge to enter the party and the fight broke out between the Rose Street man and people who did not want to pay to get in. The resident of the home said she was upstairs when she heard eight shots ring out, reports said.

Police spoke to more than 20 people attending the party but were able to gather little information on the shooter, reports said. They all said they heard the shots being fired outside and tried to hide, reports said.

Both victims were taken to the Jersey City Medical Center for treatment, reports said.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Jersey City police tip line at (201) 547-JAIL.
