Nine people were hurt in a drive-by shooting in Newark Thursday evening in the vicinity of a grocery store, according to Newark's acting public safety director.

Five victims, including one teenager, were being treated for gunshot injuries at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Raul Malave said. Four other adults were being treated for gunshot injuries at University Hospital.

All were expected to survive.

According to two law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation, the shooting appears to have happened outside a grocery store in the 200 block of Clinton Place. Some of the victims may have run into the store after being shot.

Police say they’re looking for a white Honda Pilot that had been stolen out of Jersey City, but the number of suspects and descriptions were not known.
