Man shot during gathering of Trenton residents at Pennsylvania hotel, cops say

A gathering of Trenton residents across the river in Bucks County, Pennsylvania Saturday night ended in gunfire early Sunday, and left a man wounded multiple times, police said.

Falls Township police officers responded to a reported shooting at the Holiday Inn Express on Cabot Boulevard at 1 a.m. Sunday and encountered a large crowd of people from Trenton, Falls police said in a statement. Among them was a male suffering wounds in his face and neck, who was taken to a local hospital.

No further information on the victim’s condition was immediately available Sunday night, as the investigation continued, police said.

Trenton had a particularly violent week, with five homicides - all shootings - in the seven days from last Saturday to this past Saturday.
