The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office says it conducted an investigation Tuesday night into a shooting at a home in Elmwood Park.
It happened on Lincoln Avenue after 5 p.m. As of Tuesday night, investigators were still at the scene of the shooting. It was not clear if any arrests were made.
Neighbors say they called 911 when they saw who ​they say is the homeowner's boyfriend with a gun. They also told News 12 New Jersey he shot her friend, who somehow ended up at a 7-Eleven in Fair Lawn about two miles from the scene. She was taken from there to the hospital.
Although police did not say anything about the shooter, Elmwood Park Police Department Chief Michael Foligno ensured that there was no danger to the community.
"Everyone is safe. We have a dozen police officers here investigating and we'll make sure residents in this area are all safe," Foligno said.
