The Trenton City Council, which said Monday that most of its members were at the game, called for "a full and thorough investigation" by the county improvement authority into security measures that night and throughout the tournament. The council also wants Trenton police to investigate "any possible security breakdowns or breaches."

Mayor W. Reed Gusciora earlier called for the county to look into security breaches at the arena, saying officials must ensure adequate training for all county personnel "who operate a metal detector." Gusciora vowed additional security for the first round of the NJSIAA tournament on Tuesday at Trenton Central High School.
