The shooting took place at 274 Chelsea Ave., Apartment 1, in Long Branch on the evening of Nov. 5.
According to the attorney general’s office:
“An individual moved into a room of the apartment and shot one of the officers in the lower leg as they approached the room. At that point the officers repositioned outside the apartment and the individual barricaded himself inside.”
At approximately 2am a fire erupted in the apartment causing the suspect to flee. The suspect fired several shots at police who returned fire killing the suspect.
