TRENTON (Mercer) – Two children were reportedly shot this evening (Friday, Jan. 12, 2024), just a little over two hours after two other people were wounded by gunfire in the city.
This latest incidence of violence was reported about 7:55 p.m. in the 100 block of Frazier Street. City police, EMS personnel and firefighters responded and located two juveniles – one initially reported to be about 16, and the other said to be about 11 – suffering from what were described as gunshot wounds to their “lower extremities.”
Both pediatric victims were said to be “conscious and alert” and were quickly taken by ambulance to the trauma center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center.
Earlier this evening, around 5:45 p.m., two people were found shot in the area of the 900 block of Southard Street, which is about a mile away from Frazier Street. And last night (Thursday, Jan. 11) around 6:50 p.m. a person was found shot in the area of the 900 block of South Broad Street.
