BRIDGETON, NJ - Authorities are investigating a double fatal shooting that took place Saturday night outside a home in Bridgeton.

At around 11:40 p.m., two victims, a 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy were fatally shot outside a residence in the 100 block of Oxford Street in what authorities believe to be a “targeted assault,” Bridgeton police said in a statement. The two teens were pronounced dead at the scene.

A third victim, a 17-year-old boy, also sustained a gunshot injury and was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden where he remains in stable condition, police said.
