A 15-year-old girl died of a gunshot wound to the head and four other people -- all adult men -- were wounded when bullets started flying in New Jersey Wednesday night, prosecutors said Thursday.
Cops responding to a call about a shooting near Madison and Essex streets in Paterson around 10:20 p.m. the night before found the girl lying in front of a home.
She was pronounced dead at the scene. No other details about her -- other than that she lived in North Haledon -- were immediately released.
Prosecutors said the other four victims -- 29-, 26-, 21- and 32-year-old men from Paterson -- were wounded by the gunfire but are expected to be OK.
