Active shooter on Elizabeth Avenue in Linden, New Jersey
BNO News ^ | September 19

Posted on 09/19/2016 8:08:19 AM PDT by Raebie

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.

He’s not the only one - the videos show 2 others. Where they arrested on the Belt Parkway last night? One of the 5 Afghans who were taken in?

This isn’t over yet.

This guy wanted to be caught. If was involved in the bombings then his “capture” was a diversion.

But he didn’t manage to kill anyone. The Justice department will try to have him out on bail within the week.

I always heard that Elizabeth was the arm pit of New Jersey.
When I was a kid in Brooklyn (late 50s/early 60s), we used to drive to Neptune City, New Jersey to visit my Mom's sister's family. We'd cross into Jersey and my sister and I would tell each other "Hold your nose! We're in Elizabeth!"

Sissy Shep Smith, as usual, trying to be “cute” (humorous) as he’s reporting a very serious event. He tries to impress you with his “wit” and “personality”, even on serious stories like this. Can’t stand the bastard.

Oh, we aren't doing general grammatical issues in popular songwriting are we? Because I think it will be easier to find the songs that are grammatically correct...

“It would really be ashame if they dropped him about 12 times getting him into the ambulance.”

I like the way you think:
Oops, didn’t mean to drop you. Oops, sorry about that. Oops, I should have told you to watch the door. Oops.

Sissy Shep Smith now attempting to minimize the bombing in Chelsea saying, basically, that if he really wanted to hurt people he wouldn’t have placed the bomb in a dumpster.

I agree.
The perp was wandering around shooting at cars, then the cops came and shot/arrested him. Low profile, not.
It is a trap and a diversion.
Stay very aware.]
