I'm not sure what it's like in New Jersey, but in Detroit if someone walks up or drives up to your car and empties a magazine into it you pissed off the wrong group of people.

Those aren't usually a solo act of retaliation for a slight of some sort.


There are parts of NJ like Detroit near Trenton. It happens a lot so not headline news.

Well, they're certain to catch the assassin now. I just heard that the FBI has entered the case.

Hearing this really fills you wth confidence, doesn't it?

Top Men...

The FBI will probably conclude that it was a white supremacist MAGA supporter.

More than likely...Confidence is high!

Anymore, anytime I hear the FBI is involved in a non-federal crime, I assume they are somehow involved in CYA. What I mean by this is, say in this case, had prior knowledge that someone had threatened the councilwoman’s life, and did nothing.

I hope the authorities find who did this and punish them to the fullest extent of the law.

Unfortunately I agree. It used to be a well respected agency.

Another one

Local New Jersey council member Russell Heller was shot dead in his car, exactly one week after the slaying of Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour, according to reports.

Authorities responded to calls that a person had been shot at the PSE&G facility in Franklin Township just after 7 a.m. Wednesday.

Heller, 51, was found shot dead outside his car, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office. Reports say he was a senior distribution supervisor who had been with the company for 11 years, and a councilman in Milford, a small borough in Hunterdon County.

"The Milford Borough Council is deeply saddened by the loss and our hearts go out to his family," Milford Mayor Henri Schepens told digital news content provider NJ.com. "He was so full of life, it’s just unbelievable that he’s gone. Something like this has never happened in borough history. We are very shaken by this."

Gary Curtis, 58, was identified as the suspect in the shooting and found at 10:20 a.m. inside a car in Bridgewater, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Somerset County Prosecutor's Office said.

Curtis was reportedly a former PSE&G employee who allegedly shot Heller before taking off and driving to Bridgewater, where he killed himself.

The killing comes one week after the slaying of Sayreville Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour, who was found dead in her vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds.

The Feebs will quickly conclude that Curtis did both hits.

Case closed.

Maxine Waters and her ilk's rhetoric is responsible for these killings.

Suspect looks suspiciously NOT a right wing extremist. I would predict this guy, his past, and any links to left leaning groups will be deep sixed fast.

I believe they’re trying to keep a lid on these two killings. I had to read through 5 or 6 articles on the latest to confirm Heller was a Republican. They all say the killings aren’t related. But in New Jersey, there can’t be more than just a few Republican officials. The two towns look like they are about 50 miles apart on a map. Yet they are already saying they are unrelated. But at the same time they say they have no suspects in Dwumfour‘s case. You can’t have it both ways.

Could be a coincidence. But I believe in coincidences like I believe in God. I believe they both exist but haven’t seen either.

And you'd be wrong. New Jersey is awash with elected Republican state officials. Look at an election map, and you'll see a lot of red.

In the 2nd murder, let's not overlook that these men were former co-workers. Could very well just be a coincidence. Or maybe not. I wish we knew more about this murderer. Perhaps we will soon.

The police purportedly has ruled out political motivations for either killing but they don't have a motive for either one yet.

They weren't killed because they were Republicans but they don't have any idea why they were killed at all. Interesting how they were able to rule out one motivation while not having an actual motivation yet.

Yup, Sussex County is ALL Red, much of Morris and Warren Counties are Red, and a LOT of South Jersey is Red.
It's just that Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Trenton, Camden, etc are NOT Red!

I stand corrected guys. Learn something new every day. The second case does have the work connection and there’s nothing new about disgruntled former employees coming back to do bad things. But why did so many stories leave out Heller’s party affiliation - when it’s normally right after their office title and name?

Two separate tragedies for sure. I’m interested to see more details.
