NEWARK, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Police are investigating a triple shooting that critically injured a 4-year-old girl in Newark Thursday night.
The victims were sitting inside a car just after 11 p.m. on Cabinet Street when a male gunman targeted them from outside the vehicle, officials said.
The child remains in critical condition, while the two other victims - a man and a woman, were listed as stable.
Police are investigating what led up to the shooting.
The relationship between the victims and the gunman remain unclear.
"Another tragedy has hit our community by way of gun violence," Mayor Ras Baraka said in a statement. "In last night's shooting, an innocent 4year-old was hurt and by the grace of God is still with us because our Newark police officers rushed the child to the hospital and helped save her life. I am asking the Newark Police Division to work around the clock to find the shooters and we will not rest until we have these shooters in custody. In a city where we are fighting for police reform, we also need everyone to come together to end the violence that has plagued our community for so many years. We need a stronger push and we all have to do our part."
There have been no arrests have been made, and an investigation is ongoing.
Anyone who has information is urged to contact NPD at 973-733-6000.
