Four people were shot in a Newark neighborhood Sunday afternoon in what police believe was a targeted shooting.
Two men and two women were injured by gunfire near Chancellor Avenue and Leslie Street around 4:15 p.m., Newark Public Safety Director Brian O'Hara said. The shooting occurred in the street, he said, but several of the victims ran into a nearby liquor store after the shooting.
Two responding officers applied a tourniquet to one of the woman's legs to stop her from bleeding out, O'hara said. She was originally listed in critical condition; all four victims are now stable.
