File photo of a Trenton Police car. TRENTON — Two city men were shot yesterday when a gunman appeared and began firing at them on a city street, police said.
Both victims were expected to survive their injuries, Lt. Steve Varn said. Police were called out to the shooting on the first block of North Stockton Street at 5:44 p.m.
The victims later told police they had been walking to Perry Street from Hanover Street “when someone came out and began shooting,” Varn said.
One victim, age 21, was shot in the forearm, while the 20-year-old victim was shot in the cheek, Varn said.
The pair received treatment at Capital Health Regional Medical Center. Police have no information on potential suspects, but evidence recovered at the scene indicated a handgun was used, Varn said.
Anyone with information on the case should call police at (609) 989-4170 or the Confidential Tip Line at 989-3663.
