TRENTON — New Jersey’s capital once boasted of its outsize industrial prowess with the phrase “Trenton Makes, the World Takes,” but that activity has largely dried up, and what Trenton seems to make lately is headlines for violent crime.

Last year, Mayor W. Reed Gusciora took office mere weeks after a shooting in June in which 22 people were injured after gunmen opened fire during an arts festival.

He vowed to increase police patrols at large events and conducted an extensive search for a new director of the Police Department, but the violence has continued.

It erupted again early on Saturday morning with a drive-by shooting in front of a bar that left 10 people hospitalized, city officials said.
