Irvington Township Police are investigating shots fired incident that injured children sitting in a vehicle with their mother in a section of the Township Saturday.
RLS Media first brought information to its exclusive members after gunfire erupted in the vicinity of 176 Eastern Parkway just before 11:15 p.m.
According to police, when officers arrived at the scene, they found two juveniles, ages 7 and 10, suffering non-life-threatening wounds to their legs as a result of a drive-by shooting.
RLS Media learned that the victims were sitting in a car with their mother at the time of the incident. The mother did not suffer any injuries.
