Newark Police Officer Is Killed and Another Is Injured in Shooting
The New York Times
Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey asked people to “please pray” for the officers, who were shot around 6:30 p.m. Friday.
One police officer was killed and a second was injured in a shooting in Newark on Friday night, a police officers’ union said in a statement.
The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said the shooting had taken place at around 6:30 p.m. near the intersection of Broadway and Carteret Street, where an elementary school and a Lutheran church face each other across a busy commercial street.
The prosecutor’s office said the two police officers had been taken to University Hospital. Neither officer has been publicly identified. The authorities have not provided information about who shot them or the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
The union, the New Jersey Fraternal Order of Police, said in a post on social media that two officers had been shot in the line of duty on Friday and that one of them had “made the ultimate sacrifice.”
The shooting shattered the calm of a typically quiet neighborhood of Newark’s North Ward, a working-class and largely Latino area of New Jersey’s largest city. Said Anthony, 30, said he was in his living room at home when he heard gunshots.
“I thought they were fireworks,” said Mr. Anthony, a medical transport driver. “Then all the cops came flying by. I’ve never seen something like this.”
