One person was killed and at least 17 people were shot early Sunday morning at an all-night arts festival in Trenton in what may have been a neighborhood dispute unrelated to the event, the authorities said.

The person who was killed, a 33-year-old man, was believed to have been shot dead by the police and was one of multiple gunmen, according to the Mercer County prosecutor’s office. Officials said a second gunman had been arrested, and that it was possible there were others.

The authorities said they did not have any reason to believe the festival was targeted or that the shooting was an act of terrorism, Casey DeBlasio, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office, said. She said the authorities were investigating a nearby carjacking in connection with the shooting and that multiple other motives were being considered.

The shooting happened around 2:50 a.m. at the Art All Night festival at Roebling Wire Works in Trenton.

Trenton--while a small population city..is part of a big metro area and is a high crime,drug trafficking area.has been for decades.
99% chance this was a drug gang dispute...and not an atypical night in the hood.
