Three Injured in Triple Shooting in Burlington; Schools Delayed

All Burlington City Schools will open on a two-hour delay on Tuesday following a triple shooting that occurred Monday night, according to the Burlington City School District.

The violence broke out just before 7 p.m. on Monday in the 100 block of Federal Street, according to FOX 29 Philadelphia. The incident required a massive response from multiple law enforcement agencies after a large crowd gathered near the scene, the same outlet reported.

Three people were injured during the shooting. One adult man was transported by ambulance to Virtua Willingboro Hospital, while two juvenile males were airlifted to Cooper University Hospital, 6abc.com reported.

The crime scene was not contained to a single point. 6abc.com reported that the investigation spanned several blocks, including the intersection of York and East Federal, a parking lot across from a McDonald’s along Route 130, and the area along a chain-link fence outside Burlington Chevrolet. Investigations were also noted along York Street between 130 and Wall Street.

A portion of the crime scene was located near the local high school, which contributed to the decision regarding school delays. While crime scene tape was eventually cleared, the investigation continued throughout the night.

The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office stated that at least one of the victims was able to run away after being shot. This movement was part of the reason the crime scene was so large, 6abc.com reported.
