LODI, N.J. (1010 WINS/AP) -- Tempers flared between a woman and her estranged boyfriend in Lodi last night leading to a shooting that critically injured the woman's sister.
Steve Sandberg reports.
The shooting took place at a home on North Main Street Monday night when George Hartwig stormed Denise Richardson's home and began shouting.
Bergen County's prosecutors say he then pulled a gun and fired a single shot which struck the woman's sister, Louisa Rodas, in the face. Two other relatives pounced on the man and held him until police arrived.
The woman and the suspect were taken from the North Main Street home to Hackensack University Medical Center, where she remains in critical condition.
Charges against the shooter are pending. Officials say Hartwig did not suffer any serious injury and is in custody.
