The shooting near the city's train tracks caused major delays on NJ Transit routes
ORANGE - Authorities are investigating after one person was killed in a shooting early Sunday night.
Orange spokesman Keith Royster said detectives with the Essex County Prosecutor's Office's Major Crimes and Homicide Task Force had been on scene on Cary Street near the NJ Transit tracks.
The shooting reportedly broke out shortly after 7 p.m.
Thomas S. Fennelly, a chief assistant prosecutor for Essex County, also confirmed the shooting death, but said an investigation was in its early stages and declined to share additional details.
NJ Transit said service along its Morris-Essex line was delayed anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour due to unspecified "police action" in the Oranges.
