Three people were shot at a New Jersey PATH train station early Sunday morning when an argument over a woman being bumped ended in gunfire.

The shooting started on a train at the PATH Pavonia-Newport Station and spilled out onto the platform. Police had police tape around the outside of the station as they investigated.

One witness tells MyFoxNY.com that things started when a man bumped into a woman. The woman's brother was with exchanged words with the man. The man who bumped the woman pulled a gun and opened fire. The second man then pulled out his own gun and returned fire.

 

 

A bit earlier, Thursday. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2013/08/two_men_injured_when_30_rounds_fire_in_jersey_city_today.html

 

Two Jersey City men were injured when some 30 rounds were fired at a large group of people on Union Street early this morning, officials said.

With emergency medical technicians on the scene it was determined that the 20-year-old and 18-year-old men had suffered cuts likely caused by flying debris, police said. 

The men said two males on bikes approached riding west on Union before opening fire and then fled heading east, the report says. But they became uncooperative and could not provide descriptions of the gunmen, the report says, adding that they refused medical attention.

Police found a large number of shell casings in the street at Arlington and Union, the report says, adding that a how was also struck by a round and a car’s rear window was blown out.

 

 

Former and new mayors of JC are known members of Bloomberg's Mayors Against *Illegal* Guns, the group that memorialized Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev  as a gun violence victim at their rally. 

 

How long would it take for Steve Fulop (new mayor, rising NJ Democrat star) to use those shootings against law abiding NJ gun owners?

The second incident sounds like a PA resident was CCWing in NJ, he is most likely going to get screwed.  Just my speculation of course..

Looks like female victim Diamond Drummer is from Hillside, NJ. She was coming back from a show in Manhattan, so it's safe to assume group of her friends and her brother were from about same neighborhood. 

Later reports don't say nothing about victim's brother shooting back, seems like there was only one shooter: convicted felon Tari Turpin (East Orange). Looks like he managed to shoot himself.
