HARRISON -- A 25-year-old Harrison man was arrested and charged with attempted murder and weapons charges after shooting a woman Saturday morning, according to police.

Harrison police, with assistance from the Jersey City police, charged Victor Sagastume of Washington Street Saturday at 2:40 a.m.

The victim, a 33-year-old woman, underwent surgery for two gunshot wounds that were initially labeled as life-threatening, said Lt. David Doyle of the Harrison PD. The woman is in stable but guarded condition, Doyle said at 11:30 this morning.

Details surrounding the shooting were not immediately available. Police wouldn't say how the man and woman were related, but it appears to have been a domestic violence incident, police said.

The shooting is still under investigation. The Observer weekly newspaper reported in September that Sagastume was arrested on drug charges and motor vehicle violations; and he had open warrants at the time.

This report was updated at 11:50 a.m. with new information. Journal Staff Writer Caitlin Mota contributed to this report.
