  1. I am certainly sensitive to what happened in Verona, its a terrible tragedy. However, is there any new information on what happened with the shooting last night in Montclair? It seems unclear as to what happened, who was involved, and if these men were caught. Its a bit unsettling when a helicopter is hovering very low over my house with a spot light shining on the ground.

  2. Given these stories, It appears that crime does pay. It amazes me that a gun shot on Bloomfield Ave returns no witnesses or arrests, and yet When I fail to use my blinker at a stop sign, I get pulled over immediately

  3. Three men were arrested last night as probable suspects in the shooting. Not sure why no information has been released by MPD.

  4. People convicted of killing other people during the commission of a crime should be sentenced to life in prison without parole – no exceptions.

  5. yup, they should be put in jail, and not fed, so that they too would die, by mean of starvation. The Bible as well as the Torah says, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”, and I do believe it.

  6. I understand that an Exxon Gas Station on Route 46 West, just past Valley Road Exit, had a similiar incident within the past month. The Attendant was also killed. I hope the Detectives are looking at both incidents, although one is in Passaic County

  7. How is there no news about the shooting that took place on bloomfield ave lastnight? It is starting to get crazy around here…

  8. What happened with the Montclair shooting? I mean, there were helicopters and road blocks and rumors… oh my!
