New Jersey arts festival shooting leaves 22 injured, 1 suspect dead

FOX: Nearly two dozen people were injured after gunfire broke out early Sunday during a fight at an all-night art event in New Jersey’s capital city, leaving one suspect dead which authorities said appeared to be caused by “neighborhood beef.”

Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri said at a news conference that a total of 22 people were injured in the shooting, 17 of whom were treated for gunshot wounds at nearby hospitals. A second suspect is in custody.

“It’s a massive crime scene,” Onofri said.

Two suspects opened fire shortly before 2:45 a.m. at the 24-hour Art All Night show in the Roebling Market section of the city, according to Onofri, who told The Associated Press a “neighborhood beef” was behind the shooting.

The event began Saturday afternoon and was scheduled to continue until Sunday afternoon and typically draws thousands of people. The festival showcases local art, music and food.  more here

  1. NRA members did this right Hogg Boy ???

  2. News this morning said was shooter was sentenced to 18 years in 2004
    and another 6 while in jail.
    He should have been in prison
    until 2028. So naturally the lefties
    Blame a gun.

  3. Everyone knows that art is best appreciated at 2:45 am.
    It got chippy when the Gaugin vs Renoir argument erupted again this year. The guy in the beret with the cigarette holder could not be reasoned with.

  4. I caught the early reports of the shooting. The said it was at an “Art’s and Culture” festival……correct me if I’m wrong but the shooting was a part of the “culture” was it not ??

  5. “Neighborhood beef” is now code, kind of like “urban youths”. This enables all of us to know the race of those involved without the police and news media to be declared “racist “. Similarly, Streets were renamed MLK Blvd, so the rest of us would know where not to go, lest we get shot. It’s a public service.
