(CNN) Twenty people, including a teenager, were injured early Sunday in a shooting at a 24-hour art festival in Trenton, New Jersey, the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office said.

One suspect, a 33-year-old man, was killed, and another one was taken into custody, officials said. Police recovered multiple weapons, prosecutor Angelo Onofri said.

"It absolutely could have been worse given the confined space and the number of shots that appear to have been fired," Onofri said.

Sixteen of the 20 victims transported to area hospitals were treated for gunshot wounds, according to Capital Health Regional Medical Center and St. Francis Medical Center.

Among the injured is a 13-year-old, who is in extremely critical condition, the prosecutor said.

Hopefully the boy in critical condition pulls through.

One shooter is confirmed dead. Currently no other fatalities. Seems like it might be gang related? Shooting started during a fight between two or more people.
