BREAKING NEWS--Multiple Casualties After Shooting At Trinton Fraternity House

Police still looking for suspects

GLISIDEN, TRINTON--Several people are dead and many more injured after a shooting at a fraternity house party in central Trinton late Wednesday night.

Details are still limited, but police are telling GNN a gunman or several gunmen opened fire at the party, which was taking place at a fraternity house in the Wilmington suburb of Glisiden, near Lutton University and George Shaw Community College. Police estimate there were between 50-60 young people in attendance at the party, many of whom were consuming alcohol and drugs, when the shooting occurred around 11:13 p.m. eastern time.

Witnesses say a dark sedan pulled up on the street next to the house and immediately shots were fired. At least one gunman also began walking around the front yard of the residence, opening fire on helpless victims who could not escape. After what was likely only one or two minutes of gunfire, the shots ceased, the gunman jumped back in the car and fled the scene.

Police and medic units from several jurisdictions responded to the scene, which was located in a relatively quiet residential neighborhood.

"We had local, county and state police responding to this call...about 45 officers came to the scene," Sgt. Brad Bickerstaff of the Oceanview County Sheriff's Department said.

A casualty count is unavailable at this time, Bickerstaff said, because police are still searching the premises for victims.

"Right now we know there are at least 7 deceased victims, and at least 13 injured victims. Beyond that, I can't tell you," Bickerstaff said.

Traffic is still blocked in the area as police continue to search the fraternity grounds and nearby neighborhoods for evidence. Despite several witnesses, police have little information to go off of on the suspect or possible suspects.

"All we know right now is that there was at least one person that showed up in a dark sedan, opened fire and left in that same sedan. That's all we know," Sgt. Bickerstaff said.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Trinton State Police at 1-800-321-9910.
