TRENTON - A city man was shot four times Wednesday night by intruders to a home on Colonial Avenue, police said this morning.
Though shot three times on the right side of his hip and once in the buttocks, the 30-year-old is expected to survive his injuries, said Lt. Mark Kieffer, a police spokesman.
The victim was inside the home with four other people around 9:30 p.m. when four armed men allegedly forced their way inside. During the chaos, shots were fired and the 30-year-old was wounded by the intruders, according to police.
The 30-year-old fled a block away to the Rowan Towers apartment complex at 620 W. State St., where Detective Gairy Robinson was working off-duty security. Robinson called for an ambulance and the victim was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton for treatment.
Police are investigating what was going on at the house, which belongs to the mother of one of the five people who were inside, Kieffer said.
Also Thursday night, a 29-year-old man was shot in the arm and shoulder. Though the victim took a car to Capital Health Medical Center - Hopewell for treatment, he claimed he had been shot on Hoffman Avenue in the city around 9 p.m., Kieffer said.
