Pleasantville Shooting Leaves Two Teens Dead, Suspects On The Loose

Two Pleasantville teens become the second and third people to die by gunfire within two days in the town. No one is in custody in connection with the incident that erupted late Wednesday.

Acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain says that Taron Williams, 19, and a 13-year-old were found riddled with bullets in the front and back of a Woodland Avenue house shortly after 11 PM. Police responded to a 911 call.

Both teens died shortly after being rushed to Atlanticare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City.
