Two children, including a 4-year-old, and an adult were injured after a gunman fired shots into their car that was stopped at a red light in Newark Wednesday evening, a report said.

The children’s mother was also inside the vehicle when a shooter inside a car that pulled up next to them opened fire at the corner of Irvine Turner Boulevard and West Kinney Street around 5:50 p.m., WABC-TV reported.

The 4-year-old, another child and a 30-year-old were struck by bullets. The mother was not injured, the station reported.

The adult was hospitalized in grave condition, while the two children were listed in stable condition.

The car the suspect was riding in was believed to have been stolen from Kearny after its owner left the keys inside, according to the news outlet.
