A 10-year-old boy and a 21-year-old woman were killed in a Saturday night shooting in Newark, N.J., that also injured three others, authorities said.

Police responded around 7 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the city’s South Ward and found five victims, according to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.

The boy and woman were taken to a local hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Their names have not been released.

The injured victims included an 11-year-old boy, a 19-year-old man, and a 60-year-old man. All were reported in stable condition. Authorities did not immediately release details about the nature of their injuries.

Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka called the shooting "depraved and senseless," and "a dark and devastating day" for the city.

"We will not rest until there is justice for the parents and families left behind in unspeakable pain and grief," Baraka said in a statement. "Newark will work tirelessly with the prosecutor’s office, state law enforcement, and federal agencies to ensure justice is served. We urge the killer to turn himself in—there is no safe place to hide."

"Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this trauma," the statement continued. "Our prayers are with them—and our actions will support them."

Former first lady Michelle Obama said Americans are "not ready" to elect a woman to the White House, citing former Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential election loss to President Donald Trump.

Obama made the comments to a crowd of women at the Brooklyn Academy of Music while promoting her new book, "The Look."

"As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready," she said on Friday.

"That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You are not," she continued.

The former first lady went on to say that she does not believe men in America are comfortable with a woman leading them.

"You know, we’ve got a lot of growing up to do, and there’s still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it," Obama said.

In her book, which was released on Nov. 4, Obama touches on her journey with fashion, hair and beauty, as well as her time in the White House as the first Black woman to serve as first lady. She wrote that women in politics are often judged based on their physical appearance instead of their ability to lead.

"During our family’s time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled. For a while now, I’ve been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way. I’m thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned along the way," Obama wrote on Facebook in June while promoting her book ahead of its release.

"'The Look' is about more than fashion. It’s about confidence. It’s about identity. It’s about the power of authenticity. My hope is that this book sparks conversation and reflection about the ways we see ourselves — and the way our society defines beauty," she added.
