NJ AG Probing Fatal Police-Involved Shooting in Small Town
The New Jersey Attorney General's Office is investigating a fatal police-involved shooting in the small Monmouth County borough of Farmingdale, the office said early Saturday.
One civilian died in the Walnut Drive incident, the office said, though the circumstances were not immediately clear.
Under New Jersey law the Attorney General's Office is required to investigate any incident anywhere in the state where someone dies while in official contact with law enforcement.
The borough is roughly 50 miles due south of Newark and 70 miles northeast of Philadelphia. As of the last census it a had a population of just more than 1,300 people.
The Asbury Park Press reported the shooting took place at a home on a cul-de-sac near an elementary school. Video from the scene showed a heavy presence of state and local police, as well as ambulances.
