One Dead, Three Injured in New Jersey Vigil Shooting
A shooting erupted at a vigil in Elizabeth, New Jersey, leaving one person dead and at least three others wounded.
One person was killed and at least three others were injured when gunfire broke out at a vigil in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on Monday night. The shooting occurred around 8:30 p.m. as mourners had gathered to remember an individual who died approximately seven years ago.
A witness told WABC that "a lot of shots were fired." An unidentified individual was pronounced dead at the scene. Three other victims were transported to University Hospital in Newark with injuries to their arms, legs, and chest. Their conditions are currently unknown.
Investigators are examining a red car that fled the scene and was later discovered burned out roughly four miles away. Authorities are working to determine if this vehicle is connected to the shooting. No arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
