An argument between two people outside a homeless shelter escalated into gunfire Sunday night, Jersey City authorities said.
No one was injured in the incident at 16th and Grove streets, near the St. Lucy Shelter, city spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said.
She noted that the two people involved in the incident, which was reported at 8:42 p.m., are known to each other.
The incident appears to have stemmed from a verbal argument, which led to the assailant firing toward a 52-year-old man, who was not struck. The investigation is ongoing, Wallace-Scalcione said.
