Three women were shot early yesterday morning after two gunmen fired into a crowd outside a Jersey City housing development, officials said.

The incident took place shortly after midnight at the Brunswick Estates, a complex just west of the Turnpike Extension off Montgomery Street.

The two gunmen fired multiple rounds into the crowd and fled on foot, police spokesman Bob McHugh said.

The three victims — Jersey City residents ages 40, 32 and 29 — are in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries at Jersey City Medical Center, McHugh said.

Several witnesses gave descriptions of the shooters to detectives, McHugh said.

It's not known who was being targeted in the shootings.

One suspect is described as a 6-foot-tall man weighing 170 pounds, and wearing a dark-colored fitted hat, a bandana as a face mask, a three quarter-sleeved black T-shirt and black sweatpants.

The second shooter was only described as wearing a dark hoodie.

Brunswick Estates is an enclave that includes more than 30 two-story housing units.

A resident, who declined to give her name, said she had just returned home when she heard “boom, boom, boom, boom,” describing the gunfire.

Another resident, who also declined to give her name, said this wasn’t the first time shots were fired in the area.

“It happens a lot,” she said, adding she fears for the safety of her five children. “I keep to myself here.”

The resident, who has lived at the complex for about three years, said she heard about eight shots from inside her apartment.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Jersey City Police Department’s confidential tipline at (201) 547-JAIL.
