AI GeneratedA state trooper-involved shooting has occurred in an industrial park in Moonachie, New Jersey. Law enforcement, including state police and the ATF, have secured a building and vehicle on Commercial Avenue.

Yeah, Kurt, a law enforcement source tells me
this is a state trooper-involved shooting.
There are local state police here as well as a federal presence.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms is here too.
We're in Industrial Park in the Meadowlands,
and the police presence is converging on a building
and a car in front of it here on Commercial Avenue.
Let's show you what it looked like a little bit earlier.
We've been here almost two hours.
Official information is scarce.
Bus service around here is detoured away from the crime scene.
Again, crime scene tape still up.
Most of the action is surrounding this car and this building.
Again, law enforcement source telling us
this is a trooper-involved shooting.
We don't know who else is involved
or the condition of any of those involved.
Of course, we had a police-involved shooting in Belleville Sunday night
and a mass shooting in Elizabeth at a vigil Monday night.
Lots going on this week.
It's impacting workers now here in Moonachie
who are even having trouble just getting home.
I was trying to go home, like, so I can't pass up,
but I don't know what happened.
so she told me what happened somebody got shot
and really really surprised me because
that's a quiet area again we're told
this is a trooper involved shooting per a law enforcement
source so we reached out to state police they referred us
to the office of the attorney general
which has to this point
not given us any information we'll be sure to update you
when we learn more
but for now in Moonachie, Tom Krasnowski, News 12 New Jersey
