At last night’s community council meeting, Captain Peter Venice touted the latest CompStat figures, which show that, so far this year, crime is down 11% in the 7th Precinct compared with 2012. But he also briefed residents on an incident that occurred Tuesday evening. According to Venice, shots rang out near the Rutgers public housing complex at around 9:30 p.m. The address he gave was 45 Rutgers St., at Madison Street. According to Venice, about six shots were fired. No one was hurt. Police have not located the shooter; they’re interviewing witnesses and going over surveillance video from the area. Last December, there was another shooting incident outside a different Rutgers building.
