Summary
Eleven people were shot at about 12:25 a.m. on Locust Street in Trenton, with two killed and nine hospitalized after gunfire broke out at what witnesses described as a neighborhood cookout.
About 150 people were at the gathering, according to a woman who said attendees heard an initial volley of shots, thought it had ended, then heard gunfire erupt again.
Nearly 40 evidence markers were placed at the scene, and a damaged vehicle at Capital Health Regional Medical Center—about two miles away—was towed from the emergency entrance.
Police have not identified suspects or explained how the shooting unfolded, though earlier reports said multiple gunmen opened fire at the unauthorized block party and no arrests had been made.
