At least four people were shot at a New Jersey hotel where two rooms had been rented for a bachelorette party, the town's mayor and a source close to the investigation told News 4 Monday.
The mayor of Woodbridge said at least four people were shot at the Delta Hotels by Marriot around 2:30 a.m. Monday.
The source described the bachelorette party as a fairly large gathering. Just one person allegedly fired a gun, though it's not clear what sparked the firing.
Multiple police and emergency response vehicles were seen parked outside the hotel off Route 1 hours after the shooting.
