Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said his office is closely monitoring the shooting.

“Our law enforcement officers put themselves in harm’s way every day to protect our communities, and tonight is a painful reminder of the depth of the sacrifices they make,” according to a statement posted to X. “Please keep the entire Newark Police Department and the families of our officers in your thoughts as we pray for both officers shot in the line of duty tonight.”

Within the span of a few hours, there were four police officers shot across the country, according to Fraternal Order of Police National Vice President Joe Gamaldi.

Two officers were shot near Carteret Street and Broadway on Friday night.

“In just the last three hours, there have been 4 police officers shot, one is dead,” Gamaldi wrote in a post on X. “2 officers from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg (NC) PD, both are expected to recover. 2 officers from Newark (NJ), tragically one officer has made the ultimate sacrifice…RIP Please keep all involved in your thoughts and prayers.”

He added the incidents were “beyond heartbreaking.”
