Update, 8:10 a.m.: Carmine, a Lyndhurst resident who lives just a block from the scene, said he heard screeching tires early Tuesday morning, interrupted by silence, then shooting.

"The racing and the screeching stopped and then you heard, pop pop pop pop," said Carmine, who wouldn't give his last name.

After walking to the scene, he saw one man on a stretcher and another in handcuffs.

"The one on the stretcher seemed like he was in bad shape," he said.

Police were still at the scene at about 8 a.m. A black SUV is sitting against the side of the Ridge Road bridge over Route 3. A bullet looks to have pierced the windshield on the passenger's side.

Police have closed the Ridge Road exits of Route 3 in both directions.

Video posted on Instagram captured what appeared to be smoke from a vehicle, at least three gunshots and the sound of tires screeching.
