Authorities are investigating a shooting in the West Ward that left five people wounded, Newark police said this evening.
The shooting took place a little before 9:30 p.m. at the Georgia King Village housing complex. Police responding to a call that someone had been stabbed arrived to find five people suffering from gunshot wounds instead, police said.
Police found no evidence that anyone had been stabbed, according to Detective Hubert Henderson.
Four of the victims are in stable condition, while the fifth is reportedly in critical condition, police said.
This was the third multiple shooting incident in the city in less than a week.
On Sunday night, three 18-year-old men were wounded in a shooting outside the Robert Treat Hotel on Park Place. On Feb. 20, seven people were injured in a shooting at La Luna Bar on North Fifth Street. No arrests have been reported in either incident.
