BNO News ^ | September 19

Police and other emergency services in New Jersey are responding to reports of an active shooter on Elizabeth Avenue in Linden in Union County, according to initial reports. There are reports of injuries.

The incident happened at around 10:45 a.m. ET on Monday when police were called for reports that someone was shooting at cars passing by in the 500 block of East Elizabeth Avenue, which is near the Linden train station.

Officers rushed to the scene and it is believed a suspect is in custody, according to initial reports. There are reports of injuries, including as many as two police officers, but there was no immediate on their conditions.

It was not immediately known whether the shootings are linked to the recent bomb attacks in New York and New Jersey, or whether it is linked to the manhunt for Ahmad Khan Rahami, who is being sought as a suspect in those attacks. The scene of the shooting is just southwest of Elizabeth.

Just outside of Elizabeth. If this isn’t related, I’ll be shocked.

“The suspect is in custody, and there are reports of a possible explosive device. The bomb squad and police dogs have been called to the scene.

Reports from the scene indicate that someone was shooting at passing cars. One officer took a bullet to his armored vest and requested medical assistance, the police union said. Another officer was reportedly hit by a car.”

[The Mayor of Londonistan paying his farewell respects?]

Anyone notice a coincidence that these events are happening the same time as his “visit”??

Not really - his vote will still be counted, maybe several times.

Moslems are all acting as if they need to get their terrorist attacks in now, because the first day Trump is in office, they will be expelled with malice.

New Jersey is a kinda unique state. It has numerous armpits and twice as many arseholes.

So far this seems to be roughly following the timeline of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Suspects identified and photos released to the public a couple days after the event. Then a shootout with police. Next will come the "shelter in place" order as the remaining suspect is tracked down.
