A man was killed while a young girl was injured following a shooting in Burlington, New Jersey Saturday night.
Police say an unidentified gunman fired between four to 10 shots on the 100 block of East Federal Street, striking a 24-year-old man and possibly injuring a 5-year-old girl who were both outside a home.
The man was taken to Cooper Hospital where he later died from his injuries. The girl was taken to the Lourdes Medical Center where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police have not yet confirmed what caused the girl's injuries or whether or not she was shot.
The gunman is still at large, according to investigators.
"An extensive search of the New Yorkshire neighborhood was completed to no avail," said Burlington City Police Captain John Fine. "The suspect is still on the loose."
Officials told residents in Burlington's New Yorkshire neighborhood to lock their doors during the manhunt.
"At this time this area has been deemed safe by officers from several jurisdictions," Captain Fine said.
