Two city teenagers wounded in a shooting at Eastside Park on Monday evening are in critical condition, according to the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office.

The victims, both 18-year-old, were struck by gunfire at around 7:24 p.m. at the park on Broadway and McLean Boulevard.

Both victims were hit in a drive-by shooting in the lower fields of the park, according to witnesses. Both men were rushed to Joseph’s University Medical Center for treatment, authorities said.

Police continue to investigate the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call the Paterson Police Ceasefire Unit at 973-321-1342.

    It's time for Passaic County to take over Eastside Park, allowing the PPD officers to patrol the dangerous streets of Paterson. The streets are out of control with drugs, guns, prostitutes, the homeless, unlicensed motorbike/dirtbike drivers, muggings, and more. Take Paterson back!
