JERSEY CITY -- A 22-year-old man was shot twice on Wade Street late Monday night, officials said.

The victim, a Forrest Street resident, was shot in the arm and leg just before midnight between Rutgers and Garfield avenues, city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said.

He was brought to Jersey City Medical Center to be treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening. The 22-year-old was uncooperative with police, Morrill said.

No one was arrested and the shooting remains under investigation.

JERSEY CITY - A 27-year-old man was shot Tuesday night at the same intersection where he was the victim of a shooting less than two years ago, officials said.

The victim, a Bergen Avenue resident, was shot in the buttocks and leg near Wegman Parkway and Ocean Avenue at about 8 p.m., city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said.

He was brought to Jersey City Medical Center in a private vehicle, where he was treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening, she said.

It's the second time the 27-year-old has been shot in the same neighborhood. In November 2015, he was shot in the shoulder and then brought to the hospital in a private vehicle. The victim was described as being "uncooperative" with police in both shootings, Morrill said.

Tuesday's shooting comes less than 24 hours after a man was shot on Wade Street. At least three other people have been shot near Wegman Parkway and Ocean Avenue this year.
