NEW BRUNSWICK — Investigators are looking for a fourth suspect after filing charges against three men in connection to a double shooting near Rutgers University campus.

Two victims associated with Rutgers were shot just blocks away from the main university campus in New Brunswick early Friday morning, Rutgers police said.

One victim, a woman, was hit by a stray bullet while inside her residence above the Golden Rail Pub on Easton Avenue, police said. Video from News 12 New Jersey showed a bullet hole in a window. The other victim was a man, though authorities did not say where he was when the shooting occurred.

Both victims were taken to the hospital after police arrived around 2 a.m. The man has been released but the woman was still being treated for her injuries as of Sunday afternoon, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
