A shooting at a North Trenton bar early Saturday injured 11 people, Trenton police said.

City police were notified at about 12:25 a.m. of gunfire in the 300 block of Brunswick Avenue and arrived to find numerous victims in and around a bar on the block.

Trenton police spokesman Capt. Stephen Varn said ambulance crews had taken five men and five women to local hospitals. One victim was critically wounded and two male victims were taken into emergency surgery, he said. Of the 11 injured, 10 were shot while an 11th victim suffered abrasions during the incident.

Police expect all to survive.

It occurred at Ramoneros Liquor & Bar (formerly J&J Liquor & Bar and the Stokes bar), according to Melli-Huber.

It’s the second shooting in the city in nearly a year that’s wounded 9 or more people. In June 2018, gunfire at the Art All Night festival wounded or injured nearly 30 people and one man, a suspected gunman, was fatally shot by responding police officers.
