Police said the man fired multiple shots in the building’s hallway before retreating into an apartment and barricading himself inside.

A 70-year-old woman was struck in the abdomen, while a 60-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the torso, authorities said.

Both victims were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition.

Yellow police tape with the words "Police Line Do Not Cross" stretches across the scene, with blurry lights in the background.
