 One person was killed and three others, including a 13-year-old, were injured in a mass shooting Saturday evening in Paterson, New Jersey, according to a city official. The gunfire erupted at the intersection of East 29th Street and 10th Avenue, sending people running for safety as chaos unfolded in the street. Surveillance video captured the aftermath, showing bystanders calling for help as multiple victims lay on the ground, with one person motionless and another struggling to stand.

Witnesses described hearing a rapid burst of gunfire, with some reporting what sounded like more than a dozen shots. Panic quickly spread as people rushed to assist the wounded, with shouting and cries heard in the area. City officials said most of the victims are believed to be in their 20s, in addition to the injured teenager, who remains hospitalized along with the two other survivors. Authorities are still working to determine what led to the shooting, including whether it was targeted or gang-related, as the investigation continues in an area officials say has seen recurring violence.
