Jersey City police responded to a pair of shootings this weekend that sent one man to a local hospital and left another in police custody, authorities said.

Just before 10:15 p.m. Saturday, officers were dispatched to a multi-unit residential building near the foot of Communipaw Avenue on the report of shots fired inside the home, according to a police report from the incident.

There, they were met by a woman and her two children on the third floor. The woman said the children's father had shot a gun inside the apartment and fled the area with the weapon, according to the report.

Police noted damage to a wall in the bedroom where the gun was fired. A .45 caliber shell casing was found, in addition to a box of .45 caliber bullets, police said in the report.

The woman told police she was in the apartment's bedroom with her children when their father became irate, walked out of the room and returned with a handgun. He then began to threaten the woman and the children, telling them he would kill them and "that is what they wanted," she told police, according to the report.

At that point he fired the gun into the wall and pinned the woman against the mattress with his hand around her throat as he pointed the gun at her head. He let her go and left the apartment shortly after, police said.

The suspect, who has previously been arrested after a separate alleged domestic violence incident, was picked up by police and placed under arrest. The circumstances of his arrest were redacted from the investigation report. His identity is being omitted to protect the identities of the woman and her children.

He now faces a slew of weapons charges, as well as four counts of endangering the welfare of children, terroristic threats, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and causing/risking widespread injury.

The next day, police responded to a shooting near the intersection of Bidwell and Ocean avenues after a man was grazed in the face by a bullet, city spokeswoman Kimberly Scalcione said.

He was taken to a local hospital and was "quickly released," Scalcione added. He was the target of a shooting in September, and was also uncooperative then, the spokeswoman added.
