UNION CITY — Gunfire early Thursday hospitalized a man who was wounded several times, police said.
Officers responded to the 33500 block of 7th Street about 1:20 a.m. on reports of a shooting, according to a statement from Union City police spokesman Lt. Paul Kanazeh. When they arrived, they found a 37-year-old who had been hit more than once, he said.
Officers provided medical treatment until medics and an ambulance arrived. The ambulance took him to a hospital, where he was expected to recover from non life-threatening injuries, Kanazeh said.
Police did not make any arrests or identify any suspects. They also did not announce a possible motive. Kanazeh said investigators believed the shooting was an isolated incident and that there are no additional threats to the public.
