SIAP. Searched.

As of now, 1 dead 20+ injured.

TRENTON - A number of people have reportedly been injured after shots were fired during a 24-hour arts festival where hundreds had gathered in Trenton, New Jersey. Witnesses tell Action News they saw several people shot during the chaos. It happened around 2:45 a.m. Sunday at the 'Art All Night Trenton 2018' festival at the Roebling Wire Works Building on the 600 block of South Clinton Avenue. "And all of a sudden, my brother goes to me, 'You hear that gunfire?' I go, 'It sounds like fireworks.' He said, 'No, that's gunfire.' Next thing you know, we turn around and everybody's running down the street. All hell broke loose," Trenton resident Angelo Nicolo said.

Multiple shooters. The one fatality was (one of) the shooters. Another or others in custody. Officer apparently involved. Recovering guns everywhere. Sounds like gang mayhem, or just Saturday night in New Jersey.

I love how the media throws this little nugget in at the end of the article.

quote:

Officials say approximately 1,000 people were in the area at the time of the shooting and there were no metal detectors at the building.


As if the police should have anticipated a shootout at the arts festival and have metal detectors installed. Next the media will blame guns instead of the people who are willing to start shooting at each other in a crowd of hundreds. I am sure this probably started over someone’s shoes getting stepped on or something similarly critical.

Democrat Mayor not wasting any time making this political.

quote:

Trenton Mayor Eric E. Jackson said the violence can't be "discarded as just random violence; this is a public health issue."


For those that don’t know, “public health issue” is Progressive Speak for gun control.

Because the media and the left can't spin random gang violence to make the NRA and law abiding gun owners responsible for it.
