CAMDEN, N.J. (KYW Newsradio) — A 6-year-old girl was caught in the crossfire of a shooting during the July Fourth fireworks show at the Camden waterfront.
The shooting happened close to Wiggins Park just after 10 p.m. The young girl was taken to the hospital, where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
One of those in attendance was Joseph Wintling. He was with his girlfriend when they suddenly saw other people panic and run.
“First you don’t really know what’s happening,” he said. “Your natural reaction is to grab your kids, grab your loved ones and just start running.”
People yelled that there was a shooting, but it wasn't clear what happened or who was hit.
Officials said three people were hurt during the rush to get away. They are expected to be physically OK.
Police arrested two people and recovered a gun. At this point, there is no word yet on a motive.
