Shooting in New Brunswick NJ Today — Local law enforcement is actively investigating a shooting reported tonight in New Brunswick, authorities and community updates indicate. Police responded to reports of gunfire in the area near Rutgers University’s campus and Recreation Park, where at least one person was struck by gunfire and required immediate medical attention. Witnesses described seeing shots fired followed by a rapid departure from the scene by one or more suspects, and officers are canvassing the area for evidence and additional information.
The victim, whose identity and condition have not yet been released by authorities, was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Police have not announced any arrests but have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that they are actively reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing potential witnesses.
Residents and students in the vicinity were urged to remain vigilant while New Brunswick Police continue their response and to report any additional details that could aid in the investigation.
