TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Authorities in New Jersey say a triple shooting at a gathering in Trenton killed one man and wounded two others over the weekend.
The Mercer County prosecutor’s office says officers responding to an 11:40 p.m. Saturday call found the three victims in front of a home where a gathering of 30 to 40 people had been fired upon by one or more suspects.
Prosecutors say 38-year-old Robert Smith was struck in the head and died shortly afterward at a hospital.
Authorities said a 19-year-old Hamilton man was hit in the buttocks and a 44-year-old Trenton man was struck in the back. Both were hospitalized, and there was no immediate word on their conditions.
Prosecutors said more than a dozen shell casings were found and two vehicles were also struck. No arrests were immediately made and authorities said the investigation continues.
