Following the incident, a large crowd gathered near the scene, prompting authorities to request mutual aid from multiple local police departments to help secure the area.
No arrests had been made as of Monday night, and investigators did not release information about any possible suspects.
Officials are urging anyone with information about the shooting to contact the Burlington City Police Department through its tip line or the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.
All Burlington City schools will have a 2-hour delayed opening today. The district says this is due to a "security incident" near the high school. In a Facebook post, the district said "support resources will be available on-site" for students and staff.
"This remains a fluid situation, and we will share additional information as it becomes available, and as permitted," the district said.
Authorities say the investigation remains ongoing.
