Paterson

The Passaic County Prosecutor's Office was notified o a shooting incident that sent one person to the hospital early Saturday morning. 

Preliminary information for the scene indicated that not even a blinding snowstorm could pause violent shooting episodes in Paterson when gunfire rang out near 339 Broadway shortly before 5:07 a.m.

Police and EMS made their way to the scene and found a person suffering a non-fatal gunshot wound in their arm at that location. 

The unidentified victim was transported to St. Joseph's Hospital for treatment and is expected to recover. 

Initial reports of a second gunshot victim could not immediately be confirmed. 

Officers taped off the area while detectives investigated during heavy snowfall, and temperatures stayed below 20 degrees.
