UPDATE: Police are looking for two gunmen who fired at least 30 shots. Read the latest story here.

Following a drive-by shooting that injured 11 in Trenton early Saturday morning, the city’s mayor is calling on the federal government to tighten gun laws.

“Many young people are afraid to go out in the street because of gun violence,” Mayor Reed Gusciora said. “It's indicative of gun violence across America, there are shootings every day. The federal government needs to address this.”

Gusciora was on the scene at Ramoneros Liquor & Bar around 11 a.m. Saturday morning, where hours before 11 bar-goers were injured. The victims were congregated outside the bar when a dark SUV drove by, and someone inside the SUV fired at the group, he said.

Of the 11 injured, 10 were shot while an 11th victim suffered abrasions during the incident.

All victims are expected to recover, officials said. Police are still investigating the incident, and they are following several different leads.

The mayor said lax federal gun laws allow people to bring firearms into New Jersey from nearby states. New Jersey has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, but Gusciora said he would like them to be further regulated nationwide.

Trenton “can’t be the tale of two cities,” he said, adding that he’s seen economic improvement in the state’s capital city, but also continued crime. He pointed to federal and state incentives to bring more businesses to the city, where within the past month, four people have died from homicide.

Economic and government leaders need to “offer young people hope,” he said, referencing a statistic that shows 30% of young people are unemployed nationwide. Employment he said, can help prevent young people from joining gangs or engaging in violence.

It is unclear which statistics Gusciora was referring to, but a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report said that just 55% of young people (ages 16 to 24 years old) were employed in July 2018.
