 Overnight mass shootings in Chicago and Trenton leave 3 dead and 18 injured

Three people were killed and 18 others wounded in separate overnight mass shootings in Chicago and Trenton, New Jersey, authorities said.

In Chicago, gunfire broke out around 11:37 p.m. Saturday at Washington Park in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the city's South Side as police were working to disperse a large gathering. A 35-year-old man was shot and taken to the University of Chicago Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Nine other people, including five men and four women between the ages of 23 and 45, were wounded and taken to area hospitals. No police officers were injured, and no arrests had been announced. Investigators said there may have been more than one shooter and were working to determine a motive.

Witness Terry Jones said he was attending a picnic in the park when the gunfire erupted. He initially thought the sound was fireworks before realizing people were scrambling for cover.

In Trenton, police responded to reports of multiple gunshots around 12:25 a.m. Sunday in the Greenwood & Hamilton neighborhood, south of downtown.

Two people were killed, and nine others were wounded in the shooting on Locust Street. The surviving victims were taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, though authorities did not immediately release information about their conditions.

No arrests were reported in the Trenton shooting. The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Task Force is investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack.
