Police say four men were shot at a community center in New Jersey Tuesday night.
The men, all between 21 and 30 years old, were standing in the vestibule of the Mickey Walker Community Center in Elizabeth at about 10:30 p.m. when three men in hooded sweatshirts and dark masks walked up and opened fire, police say. At least two of the three suspects had guns.
All four men were hit at least once, and the gunmen ran from the scene.
Witness Fabrice Juin said he heard about six or seven shots while he was inside his home.
"It sounded like a shot gun, just straight bullets," Juin said.
The victims were all taken to University Hospital in Newark. One sustained serious injuries and the other three are in stable condition.
No arrests have been made.

Crews were at the center, which houses a gymnasium and playground, patching apparent bullet holes in the center's doors on Wednesday.
Fernando Rodriguez, who works at the nearby Rally Autobody, said the neighborhood is no stranger to violence, so he wasn't surprised to hear about the shooting.
"It just surprised me because there are young kids inside there," Rodriguez said.
Anyone with information on the gunmen is asked to call the Elizabeth Police Department at 908-558-2050.
