Berckman Street area site of double incident. |
Word comes of shooting incidents overnight Wednesday in the 2nd Ward.
Sometime after midnight, Berckman Street was the site of two gunplay incidents: Shots were fired neared the intersection with East 7th Street, striking the back of a home on East 6th Street and activating the ShotSpotter system. No one in the home was injured.
As part of the same incident, shots were fired at a group of people gathered at the corner of East 6th and Berckman. It is not clear if anyone was injured, but a male suspect was reported to have fled the scene.
This area of Berckman Street has been the focus of gang-related activity in the past, including shootings. More as details emerge.

was this why a helicopter landed somewhere south of prospect somewhere near park?
I definitely heard a helicopter somewhere around midnight and 1230 and my first thought was they must have been medevacing somebody
Hey Marty,
Sounds like your brandy new re-elect Sharon units making a big difference
Re the helicopter: there was one but it had nothing to do with the shooting incident(s).
Am told a high-speed chase by Piscatway PD that spilled into Plainfield led to a woman jumping or being pushed from the car being chased, resulting in serious injuries. Don't know any more than that.
