The victims range in age from 15 to 21 years old,
and one was a University of Delaware student, a 20-year-old.

in stable condition, while the four others have been released.
The first responding officer arrived within 20 seconds,
and the gunfire had already stopped.
We had no actionable intelligence
or information to corroborate that there was any legitimate
threat of violence to our community.
Nevertheless, we recognized the potential
for extremely large crowds in Newark as part
of Halloween weekend.
As a result, we significantly increased
our Newark police staffing for that weekend.
We received assistance from officers from the University of Delaware
and the Delaware Division of Alcohol,
Tobacco, and Marijuana Enforcement.
This 16-year-old victim
also had a loaded firearm and is facing charges,
and that has been recovered by police.
This remains an ongoing investigation,
and they're still looking for anyone who has details.

if you know anything regarding this case.
