TRENTON, N.J. - A series of shootings over a four-hour period in New Jersey’s capital city left two people dead and five others wounded, authorities said.
It wasn’t clear if any of the three shootings in Trenton on Sunday night were connected. No arrests have been made, and authorities have not disclosed possible motives.
The first occurred around 5 p.m. in the area of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near Bond Street, when authorities said several suspects approached a large group at a basketball court and fired roughly 40 shots overall.
Two men were shot in the torso and were taken to a hospital, where one died a short time later. Police identified the deceased as 20-year-old Frederick Mason.
