Two dead after mass shooting at sprawling New Jersey birthday party

A mass shooting erupted at a birthday party at a sprawling New Jersey home Saturday night, leaving two people dead and at least a dozen more wounded, according to cops.

The ’90s-themed bash in Fairfield Township outside of Vineland drew several hundred people eager to celebrate the start of the warm weather before the carnage occurred at the house around 11:50 p.m., neighbors said. “I just started hearing at first what I thought was fireworks. It was really gunshots, and I heard nine in rapid succession,” said the Rev. Michael Keene of the nearby Trinity AME Church to the local ABC-TV affiliate.
