Carteret Mayor Dan Reiman said in a Facebook post that an incident outside a home on Roosevelt Avenue in the West Carteret neighborhood sparked a police investigation “after two people were shot shortly after 9 a.m. this morning.”

The incident also led to the nearby Minue School, half a mile from the suspected shooting scene, being cordoned off as a precautionary measure.
