Police are investigating a triple shooting that injured three people, including two juveniles, in Burlington City on Monday evening. The incident occurred in the 100 block of Federal Street around 8 p.m., prompting a sizable law‑enforcement presence.
Police deployment and scene details
State police helicopter “Chopper 6” hovered over the area as officers set up a perimeter at the intersection of York and East Federal streets. Additional officers were observed in a nearby McDonald’s parking lot along Route 130, and the response stretched across several nearby locations.
According to the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office, the victims were an adult male and two juvenile males. All three were transported to area hospitals; their conditions have not been released.
Witness account
A witness who asked to remain anonymous described the scene: “There was a lot of people in the parking lot. Everyone in the businesses were outside. But according to the businesses, it was quiet and then it was just a bunch of sirens. No one heard any gunshots or anything.” The witness added that at least one victim was able to run from the scene after being struck, which contributed to the large police presence.
Investigation ongoing
Investigators have not disclosed any motive or details about what led to the shooting. No arrests have been made at this time. Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Burlington City Police Department at 609‑386‑0262, extension 211.
Community impact
The shooting prompted a sizable crowd to gather near the scene, further expanding the police response. Local businesses reported a brief period of quiet before the arrival of emergency vehicles and sirens.
Authorities continue to collect evidence and interview witnesses. The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office will release additional information as the investigation progresses.
