There is a search underway that expands from Frelinghuysen Avenue to the NJ-22 eastbound lanes for suspects/victims waned for a shooting that erupted this morning in the South Ward community.
Details are pending a police information request but according to preliminary reports, just before 8:45 a.m., multiple rounds of gunfire rang out from two vehicles as occupants from both cars reportedly exchanged bullets near Empire Street.
Police have an unoccupied vehicle that's penetrated by gunfire, and shell casings inside reports said.
We are seeing massive traffic in both directions of the highway at the Frelinghuysen Avenue exits.
You want to avoid the area as there is a significant crime scene spanning several blocks on Frelinghuysen Avenue at this time.
Police are looking for suspects/victims -possibly injured- who fled the scene.
Avoid the area for the police investigation.
POINT OF REFERENCE: This is the exact area that police found a decomposed body last week.
