Six people were wounded in shootings in Trenton and Sicklerville over the weekend, while authorities investigated the deaths of three people found with apparent gunshot wounds inside a Montgomery Township home Friday.
The latest shooting occurred Sunday night at a Wawa on the 400 block of Sicklerville Road in the Sicklerville section of Winslow Township. Officers responded around 9 p.m. to a report of a gunshot victim, police said.
Two people were taken to a hospital for treatment. Their conditions were not immediately available, and police said the shooting remained under investigation.
In Trenton, two men and two women were wounded shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday on Carroll Street, according to police.
The victims — men ages 24 and 22 and women ages 21 and 18 — were taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Mayor Reed Gusciora said the shooting might have stemmed from a garage party. The Mercer County Shooting Response Team was investigating, and no arrests had been reported.
