Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Two people were killed and eight others were wounded in a shooting that erupted early Sunday during what officials have called "a large unauthorized adult gathering" in the New Jersey capital of Trenton.
No arrests appeared to have been made as of late Sunday.
The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement that police responded to the 100 block of Locust Street at about 12:33 a.m. EDT following reports of multiple shots fired, arriving on the scene to find 10 people struck by gunfire. Officials initially reported 11 people shot.
Little information about the cause of the shooting has been made public, but the prosecutor's office said it occurred as an estimated 100 people were on the street. Trenton Mayor W. Reed Gusciora said it was a gathering of 200 people or more.
