Two people were killed and at least three people were injured in a bloody Sunday today in Jersey City in which there were at least four separate shootings.

Homicide detectives were on the scene tonight on Orient Avenue off Martin Luther King Drive after a shooting reported at around 6:45 p.m. The victim was transported by car to to the Jersey City Medical Center-Barnabas Health, but died, according to scanner reports. No other information was immediately available.

Another shooting occurred about a half hour later at King Drive and Union Street, with a male victim also taken to a hospital. It could not be immediately determined if the shootings were related and no other information was available.

Meanwhile, the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office is continuing to probe the shooting death of a man, approximately 40 years old, early this morning on McAdoo Avenue near Rutgers Avenue.

A spokesman for the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office said homicide detectives are investigating the fatal shooting that occurred around 1:30 a.m.

The man's body was found inside the entranceway to 2 McAdoo Ave., authorities said, adding the man was shot just outside the building.

The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office is still awaiting identification of the dead man by family members.

No other details were available at this time.

Earlier, two women were the victims of a shooting at King Drive and Oak Street. The woman told police she was walking home at about 2:45 p.m. when she heard three gunshots and was shot in the left armpit.

Police later found a second shooting victim, a woman who was shot in the left leg, according to the police report. Carly Baldwin, Jersey City's police and fire spokeswoman, said their injuries were not life threatening.

And later tonight, another shooting was reported at Bergen and Orient avenues. No information on that shooting was immediately available.

The two homicides come two days after Darcel Rivers, the 35-year-old son of Jersey City Fire Chief Darren Rivers was laid to rest. Darcel Rivers was the victim of an apparent robbery when he was shot on June 4 on Fulton Avenue near Van Cleef Street. Chief Rivers said at his son's funeral that he hoped his son did not die in vain.
