A teen was killed and two girls were injured when gunfire erupted Tuesday night in Jersey City.

The incident happened in the area of a community center on Communipaw Avenue. Neighbors tell News 12 New Jersey that there was a party being held at the center at the time of the shooting.

Police say 17-year-old Leander Williams was shot just before 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. He was taken to Jersey City Medical Center and died around midnight.

Investigators say they also found a 16-year-old girl with an apparent wound to her upper body sitting in a chair. Police say that she appeared to be disoriented, but was treated and released. A 12-year-old girl was also injured. She was also taken to the hospital and is in stable condition.
