PERTH AMBOY, N.J. - A bar brawl that spilled out onto the streets of a
working-class neighborhood early Saturday led to a shooting that left
two people dead and three injured, authorities said.
A police officer at the scene, who spoke on the condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to discuss the case, confirmed that
police were responding to the brawl, along with the number of dead and
injured. The officer provided no other details.
Police referred questions to the Middlesex County prosecutor's office,
which confirmed that two people had been killed.
Investigators at the scene told WNBC-TV and WABC-TV that at least one
police officer fired a weapon, but did not know if the shots were
responsible for any deaths or injuries.
Vincent Uveges, 46, said he and his family were woken up by shots and
screams outside his house.
"I saw three guys on the ground. Two of them was wounded and one was
obviously dead. It was a lot of shots going off very quickly. The guy
who was lying dead on the sidewalk had a gun," Uveges said.
Laura Ruiz, 23, said her husband John Ruiz, 24, was shot in the leg.
He was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released, she
said. She declined to discuss how the shooting happened.
"'Wrong place, wrong time,' is what he keeps telling me," she said.
