Smfh how tf do both parents have good jobs and somehow their kids are shooting their co-workers?! Some parents really have no understanding of what their kids are up to. Unbeliveable

I’m more worried about city workers on the job strapped.

>Authorities were looking for the suspect, who sources said is the son of the Water Department Manager, and his mother is a retired Newark Police Department sergeant who is now employed in the fire department.

Perfectly normal and well functioning city weve got here

I was just going to comment this exact thing. You know that’s code for he’s never going to be charged. Last time I checked it’s illegal to carry a firearm in NJ. “The suspect is reportedly a part of a program that allows workers at the Newark Department of Public Works”this is code for the father covering his azz. In todays climate only authorized workers should be allowed in any city department. “A program” smh yes because every teen is dying to be at the public works dept.

What does subsidize housing have to do with this? This kid was obviously brought up to believe the rules don’t apply to him. He shouldn’t of been in the public works department anyway he didn’t work there. Last time I checked it’s illegal to carry a gun in New Jersey!

Yeah they have jobs where their kid could act like this and get away with it. He didn’t work there his Dad did. That bs about dpw having a program is the father covering his azz. He brought a gun into a city department! People should be most concerned about this.

This is embarrassing

So much about this city right now is embarrassing, sadly.

Sounds like the parents got him the job plus The mother retires from the newark police and joins the Newark fire department? Thats suspect

This fairly common in this country...doesn't matter whether its Newark or New York or deep in Rural Arkansas...

Sadly true.

Whole bunch of "Jrs" up and down the NJ election races

In my small town the DPW is filled with family members...the police dept is the same and despite being a red town no one seems to care about corruption..
