What is going on in New Jersey? Hunting season has begun in the Garden State, but deer, bear, and other game species are not in season: it’s Republican politicians. Leah covered how Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour, 30, was shot and killed in Sayreville on February 2. Now, another council member, Russell Heller, 51, was shot and killed in the PSE&G parking lot around 7 AM. Heller was seated on the Milford township council.

The culprit was Gary Curtis, a former employee, who was later found in a parking lot in Bridgewater Township with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He succumbed to his injuries (via NBC News):
Authorities quickly determined that a former employee of PSE&G, identified as Gary T. Curtis, 58, of Washington, had approached Heller in the parking lot and shot him outside his vehicle, the prosecutor's office said.
Detectives were able to track Curtis down hours later to a parking lot area in Bridgewater Township, where they found him with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, it said. Curtis, who was in possession of a firearm at the time, was pronounced dead shortly after.
Detectives are still working to establish a motive in the incident, the prosecutor's office said.
Heller's death comes a week after Eunice Dwumfour, a fellow Republican who had represented Sayreville, was found fatally shot in her vehicle near her home. Police have yet to identify a potential suspect or motive in her death.
Sayreville is around 55 miles east of Milford.
As reported, we don’t know a motive, but the timing is unnerving, given the political climate. Elected Republicans being picked off in New Jersey appears to be an emerging narrative, but let’s hold off for now. Either way, don’t expect much media coverage for obvious reasons. We all know how the press would’ve reacted if Mr. Heller and Ms. Dwumfour were elected Democrats.
My take: Someone is trying to start a civil war.
"Self-Inflicted"
There is a list of low level public officials targeted for harm. Local police departments have access to the list.
My take its he went to parking lot to get paid and got whacked.
And there was nothing we could do about it.
If you can’t beat ‘em, kill ‘em. (Although, this is NJ where democrats beat puppies regularly. More likely, this will be used to motivate spineless Rs to support gun control.
The FBI will wait until 10 or so assassinations of Republicans, to then BEGIN thinking about it.
Forget it, Jake, It’s New Jersey.
I don’t know the motive for the murder of the female, but the man’s murder sure points towards disgruntled former employee.
Was he the former employee’s boss?
Did he lodge a complaint that got the man fired?
More details should be coming.
Must be one of those catholic or pta terrorists the FBI is after.
We’re already in a civil war. We have been. For years. But spineless, castrated conservatives repeat the refrain, “Just wait till the next election ............”
Kind of looks like the replacement system for "elections".
Well, if it applies to Republicans, it will soon apply to Democrats as well. And it will be other Democrats doing the application. Why not? They already know that "voting" does not work.
They ought to be nervous.
1. See tagline.
2. There is a possible deterrent to these actions, where the opposition either gets the hint, or it escalates.
3. If the latter happens, see #1.
Yeah, then give it the same priority as Hunter's laptop, i.e., near zero.
A New Jersey Republican sounds like a Muslim Rabbi. Republican politicians who are allowed to win are controlled opposition and were selected by the cabal that also owns the Dems.
Transposition of "T" & "L."
MSNBC and the usual suspects ignore this stuff.
