Two men shot outside hip-hop concert in New Jersey


Washington - Two men were shot outside a hip-hop concert in New Jersey, local media reported.

The victims were shot during an argument after the concert for J Cole at the PNC Bank Arts Center finished late on Monday night, the New York Daily News reported.

Both men are in critical condition in hospital.

The newspaper posted images of crowds gathered around paramedics attending to the wounded men on a street outside the venue in Holmdel.

The shooter fired multiple times before fleeing into a wooded area, the newspaper quoted witnesses as saying.
