Police: NJ Turnpike shooting not random

MANSFIELD TOWNSHIP, N.J. - November 2, 2010 -- A state police spokesman says a shooting that left two men wounded on the New Jersey Turnpike does not appear to be random.

Castellanos says they were taken to a hospital and their wounds do not appear to be life-threatening.

State troopers are talking to a third man who was in the SUV.

No names have been released.
