TRENTON, NJ (MERCER)–Around 12:18 a.m. Trenton EMS, Capital Health Paramedics and Trenton Fire Department were dispatched to the 500 Block of Centre Street between Ingleton Street and Scott Alley for an officer involved shooting. Trenton Fire Department and EMS arrived on scene quickly and started treatment. Ambulances and paramedics transported two people to Capital Health Regional Medical Center with two trauma alerts called.
Trenton Police had a crime scene set up in the area and an investigation was underway.
An unidentified resident in the area showed MidJersey.news security camera video and the video showed a male who appeared to be stumbling while walking down the street then goes off camera, a few moments later a group could be seen running in the same direction of the man and go off camera, police with their lights on go in the same direction and go off camera. An audio of what sounded like a gunshot was heard. A few moments later Trenton Fire and EMS arrived on scene. It is unclear if the video was only recording when movement in front of camera or sound was heard and subjects were off camera when the sound of what sounded like a gunshot was heard.
This is a breaking news report from on-scene reports and witnesses. MidJersey.news has reached out to both TPD and Mercer County Prosecutors Office for comment and awaiting a response for official information. Once official information is received the story will be updated.
