Gunman shot dead by cops after shooting rampage in
The shooting did not appear to be cause by a gunman by rather a dispute that eventually led to an exchange of gunfire with police.
Edward Forchion, 55, told DailyMail.com that he was handing out flyers at the event when he heard an argument going on inside the building.
'One kid, about 30 [years old] was arguing with about four other guys saying that they hadn't take care of his sister and that she was lost,' he said.
'I don't know if that meant she was using - a drug addict. But he was saying that he was "away", I assume he meant in jail.'
'But he kept saying: "We're family, you take care of family".'
Officials have not confirmed if this is the same argument that led to the shooting.
The event began Saturday afternoon in the historic Roebling Wire Works building on South Clinton Avenue and was scheduled to continue through the night, ending on Sunday afternoon. It typically draws thousands of people.

Police report that a 13-year-old boy and three other people are in critical condition
Forchion said he was by the back door of the building where the event was being held when he heard 10 shots ring out.
'About 20 to 30 feet away were police officers and they ran towards the door and then six more shots rang out, which I think was police firing back,' he said.
Reports say that of the 22 who were injured, 17 were being treated for gunshot wounds.
A 17-year-old was reportedly shot in the head, although the state of his or her condition remains unknown.
A spokeswoman for St Francis Medical Center in Trenton said 10 victims were being treated there for minor injuries.
She said they were both men and women, ranging in age from 17 to 48 and are in various stages of being released.
Angelo Nicolo told Philadelphia 6ABC (http://6abc.com/shots-fired-at-trenton-arts-festival-several-injured/3612187/) station that he and his brother were at the event when they heard loud popping sounds. He said people started running down the street.
'I saw two police officers escort a guy that got shot in the leg, they bandaged him up and whisked him away,' Nicolo said.
