TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey police say 10 people have been wounded following a shooting at a Trenton bar.
Authorities say police were notified of gunfire at about 12:25 a.m. Saturday outside a bar in the 300 block of Brunswick Avenue. Arriving officers found several victims in and around the unidentified bar.
Trenton police spokesman Capt. Stephen Varn said five men and five women were transported to local hospitals. He said one victim was critically wounded and taken into emergency surgery.
Varn said an investigation was ongoing.
At-large councilman Jerell Blakeley said on Facebook: ‘‘This kind of carnage shouldn’t be normal but is becoming a common occurrence. Every time the weather breaks, the madness descends in this city. I am calling for bringing in the troopers and National Guard to the City.’’

In a scene from Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy is in a bar with the 2 Beverly Hills detectives. Two bad guys walk in and Murphy spots them right away. He tells the 2 detectives there is about to be a robbery. He gets up and pretending to be drunk, he confronts the first bad guy. One of the detectives gets up and outflanks the 2nd bad guy. When Murphy makes his move and disarms the first bad guy, the detective pulls his pistol and puts it to the head of the other bad guy and says, "Move and I'll kill you."
