A city teen was arrested this morning after police found him carrying a handgun blocks away from a reported shooting in Jersey City, police said.
Officers responded to the area of Crescent and Brinkerhoff Avenues for a report of shots fired sometime around 1:35 a.m.
According to a witness, at least three gun shots were fired and then he claims seeing four young men running east on Brinkerhoff Avenue.
As officers conducted an area search, two bikes were found at the corner of Monticello Avenue and Brinkerhoff Street and four live rounds in front of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church.
Shortly after 1:30 a.m., police arrested Andre Green in the area while in possession of a .32 caliber handgun.
