Deadly triple shooting in Burlington leaves residents shaken up

A triple shooting in South Jersey now confirmed to be deadly. The Burlington County prosecutor says a 23-year-old man died from his injuries. He and two juveniles were shot last night in Burlington City. This is video of the events unfolding today as police continue to search for this guy. And Greg, because of this deadly shooting, a nearby school delayed its start time today? Yeah, school, actually the whole entire school district delayed their start by two hours. Now, all throughout the day, Sheba, there has been a large police presence near where this shooting took place. You can even see there's actually a large amount of police that are currently here. And one of the reasons why they are here is because of the fact that there's been social media chatter about a prayer vigil. Now, the police department has said that they advise against it. They don't want it to happen because of concerns of safety. So it doesn't appear as though there is going to be a prayer vigil that is It is going to happen, but once again, this shooting has really impacted a lot of folks in the neighborhood. We know it was a gunshot because it sounded like it, and they were really, really loud. Sounds no child should ever have to process. Merlyn Castillo was just sitting on the porch the moment gunfire began erupting just feet from her. I was scared because I don't know if... I really didn't know what else could happen. Shots that had Merlin's mother's heart racing. My first thought was when I heard the shots is one of my kids got shot because they're always outside. Police say at around 7 p.m. they were called to the 100 block of Federal Street in Burlington City for a shooting. When authorities arrived, they say some of the victims who appeared to be running towards Route 130 were found collapsed on the street. Police say one adult. And two juveniles were taken to the hospital suffering from gunshot wounds. I came out on the porch, heard a commotion, like 10 or 12 shots out there, seen a group of kids running. Ponce L. Bryant lives on nearby York Street. He shot this video of the large police presence and says moments before the shooting, he saw a vehicle driving up and down the street and then came back, speeding down York Street, heading towards the intersection of York and Federal. Zooming, probably doing about 80, 90 miles per hour. Came down this way, and they went up that way, and then maybe a few minutes after that, that's when you heard the commotion. Authorities say the two juvenile victims are recovering and expected to survive. But sadly, the adult, 23-year-old Jerome Chandler of Burlington City, died from his injuries. I lost a son last year, so I know that parents' pain. You're supposed to outlive your parents, not your parents outlive you. So that's a sad thing. Due to the shooting involving juveniles in the close proximity of Burlington City High School, the school district operated on a two-hour delay today. Sitting in a letter to parents in part, our thoughts remain with those who were injured, their families, and everyone affected. Meanwhile, back in the neighborhood, police continue to be on high alert, leaving some in the neighborhood shaken. I don't think this neighborhood is going to be the same for a while. Now, at this point in time, no arrests have been made, and one of the sad things, Sheba, is speaking with that mother. She was mentioning that children go all around this neighborhood with soccer balls. There's a field that's over here to my left-hand side. They play soccer, and they have a lot of good times outside. But after a situation like this, she believes her and other parents are going to question and reconsider having their kids out in the neighborhood. Sheba? That is understandable. You know, parents wanting to protect their kids, especially now, and also thinking of that young man's family, that young man who did not survive this shooting.
