The victim, who is in critical condition at St. Barnabas Hospital, was not immediately identified.

A single bullet tore into the victim’s skull, cops said.
The bloodshed may have been sparked by an earlier confrontation involving the victim, cops added.
There are no arrests and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
