A man who was hanging outside with his friends near 16th Avenue and Rosa Parks Boulevard on Saturday morning was shot in the right buttock, according to Paterson Police.

The man, 21-year-old, was walking with a group of his companions to a corner store near Carroll Street, at around 4am, when another group of males , 6 or 7 in total, spotted them, and a confrontation ensued.

The two groups got into a physical conflict, during which, one person pulled out a gun and began releasing rounds — 4 or 5 shots; during the shooting the victim’s friends ran for cover to preserve their lives, however the victim who attempted to run was struck by a bullet in the buttock.

Police are investigating the incident.
