At least two people were killed and 9 others wounded after a mass shooting at a cookout in Trenton, New Jersey, early Sunday.
Cops were scrambled to a row house on Locust Street around 12:25 a.m. after reports of multiple shots fired and found 11 victims suffering from gunshot wounds, Trenton Police said.
The shooting started after an argument between a half-dozen people at a neighborhood cookout in the street.

The gathering started on Saturday and stretched late into the night, NBC Philadelphia reported.
Victims were taken to the nearby Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where initial information about their conditions was not available.
A woman claiming to be the aunt of one of the victims said she had brought her nephew to the hospital after he was shot in the head.
Police taped off an entrance to the hospital — about two miles from the scene of the shooting — and had a vehicle that was parked at the emergency room towed away.
The vehicle had visible damage, NBC Philadelphia reported.
