Gunman killed in New Jersey clash

New York: A suspected gunman was shot dead and 22 people were injured on Sunday after a dispute among rival gangs erupted into gunfire at an all-night arts festival in Trenton, New Jersey, officials said.

One of the shooting victims was a 13-year-old boy who was in extremely critical condition, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri told a news conference. Three others were in critical condition.

At least two persons opened fire around 2.45am at the annual Art All Night event in Trenton, about 100km southwest of New York City. The dead suspect was a 33-year-old man, and another suspect was in police custody, Onofri said. Of the 22 people injured, 17 of them were shot, Onofri said, and multiple weapons were recovered.
