At least one dead and more than 20 injured including a 13-year-old boy in shooting at 24-hour art event in New Jersey

One person has been killed and at least 20 people were injured after a shooting broke out at an all-night cultural festival in Trenton, New Jersey.

The shooting began around 2.45am at the 'Art All Night Trenton 2018' festival, a community cultural festival that showcases art, music and food.

The event began Saturday afternoon in the historic Roebling Wire Works building on South Clinton Avenue and was scheduled to continue through the night, ending on Sunday afternoon. It typically draws thousands of people.

According to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, four people are in critical condition, including a 13-year-old boy.

'One kid, about 30 [years old] was arguing with about four other guys about the origins of Expressionism. Rude remakes about Pechstein lead to the gunfire,' he said.

Probably the asshole that hooked his Sister on drugs, while he was in jail. Needs to be more of these exterminations.
It's amazing how easy the Obama administration made Opioids to get on the streets. Those that were pushing them on the streets, the pharmacies, the dr Offices, need to be put down. Or sent to the Philippines to be dealt with.

Another case of art eliminating life.

I'll give you three guesses which group is responsible for the shootings in the 'hood of Trenton, but you'll probably only need one.

A dispute between rival gang members was the likely cause behind a shooting that erupted in the early morning hours of a popular all-night arts festival in Trenton, killing one, injuring 22, and leaving New Jersey's capital city in a state of shock on Father's Day.

Gov. Phil Murphy, speaking at the Galilee Baptist Church after Sunday services, said the shooting may have stemmed from a local dispute a "low-end neighborhood-level dispute" that spilled over into the venue.

But with thousands in attendance, that dispute quickly turned into a mass shooting involving multiple weapons, and adding New Jersey to the list of states nationwide that have suffered casualties from gun violence at large gatherings.

"This is yet another reminder of the senselessness of gun violence," said Murphy, who said he would visit the wounded and their families at area hospitals. "Even having signed six stringent gun laws last week we see this. We know we are getting stronger and better but we are a long way from cracking the back of this senselessness."

Murphy signed 6 new gun laws last week, I wonder why these nice young gentlemen didn't abide by them????

The ones with the guns that could aim better than the other group ?


Yes, he had plenty of previous experience:

The deceased suspect has been identified as Tahaij Wells, 33. Wells was released from prison and on parole since February on homicide-related charges.

And, it's great he was adhering to the new gun laws Gov. Murphy signed last week requiring 10 round magazines:

It is believed the shooting is connected to gang-related disputes and that multiple suspects were shooting at one another, Onofri said. Several weapons were found at the scene, including a handgun outfitted with an extended-capacity magazine.

Oops, maybe not...

Reportedly, deceased suspect Tahaij Wells had recently been paroled on a homicide conviction. Mug shots of Wells and the arrested suspect Amir Armstrong show beards and probably MENA and/or central African ethnicity. The name "Amir" is an Arabic word meaning "Prince," and is usually a Muslim name. The name "Tahaij" tends also to be Muslim. Considering the apparent ethnicity, beards, and names, Amir and Tahaij are/were probably Muslim.

If Obama had sons....


A 33-year-old gunman Tahaij Wells, 32, is dead (pictured left), and another, Amir "Mir" Armstrong, 23, is in police custody and charged with unlawful possession of a handgun (pictured right). Both were identified as Trenton residents.

Wells was just released from prison on homicide-related charges, according to the MCPO.
