22 injured in New Jersey art festival shooting, suspect killed
- 6 years ago
Multiple gunmen opend fire at an all-night arts festival in New Jersey injuring at least 22 people... with one of the suspected gunmen fatally shot.
Ro Aram reports.
The shooting took place in the wee hours of Sunday morning in the city of Trenton where about a thousand people were enjoying local art, music and food.
Prosecutors say the 33-year-old suspected shooter was killed, apparently by police, and a second suspect arrested.
Authorities are investigating whether or not there are any more suspects who could be at large.
This witness described what happened.
"I started taking pictures of the crowd. I was passing flyers out as people were walking by me. And then, all of a sudden, about 10 shots rang out, slightly inside the door. It was like, 'Pow. Pow. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pow."
Four of 22 injured victims are said to be in critical condition, including a 13-year-old boy.
The head of the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office said he believes the shooting appeared to be the result of a "neighborhood beef" that erupted during the festival, ruling out terrorism.
Investigators are also looking into an attempted carjacking nearby, but it is not clear if it was linked to the shooting.
The remainder of the two-day festival has been cancelled.
