1 dead, over a dozen hurt in New Jersey festival shooting

Shooting breaks out at an all-night cultural festival in Trenton, New Jersey, early Sunday, sending people fleeing and leaving at least one person dead and more than a dozen injured, police say.

The shooting begins at the Art All Night festival that showcases local art, music and food a little before 3 a.m. Sunday. The event began Saturday afternoon and is scheduled to continue until Sunday afternoon. It typically draws thousands of people.

Trenton Police Lt. Darren Zappley tells The Trentonian that multiple people were shot and were taken to the hospital. The person who was killed was not immediately identified.

Angelo Nicolo tells Philadelphia 6ABC TV that he and his brother were at the event when they heard loud popping sounds. He says people started running down the street.

“I saw two police officers escort a guy that got shot in the leg. They bandaged him up and whisked him away,” Nicolo says.
