As the anniversary of the 9/11 approaches, Editorial Director Frank Borelli wonders how a generation that wasn’t alive yet will view the terror attacks.
Dramatic footage shows a fully-armed man shooting point-blank at West New York police, then being shot dead himself.
The incident is captured in a compilation of police bodycam footage and home surveillance video released late Tuesday, Sept. 6, by Acting New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin.
Several uniformed officers responding to a domestic dispute at the 59th Street home of Kevin Colindres, 32, of West New York on June 3, 2022 had their body cameras activated, Platkin said.
Home security cameras in the neighborhood were working, as well.
Bodycam footage video recorded through the front-door window shows Colindres entering the vestibule in a t-shirt and shorts with both hands behind his back.
Suddenly he raises his arms, revealing a gun in each hand. He fires, wounding one of the officers.
Police quickly take up positions.
About 15 minutes later, the heavily-tattooed Colindres emerges from the front door of a neighboring home. He’s barefoot and wearing the t-shirt as a head scarf.
Colindres points both guns at police from the front steps, then turns and runs down the sidewalk.
An officer shoots and fatally wounds him.
Two guns fall from his hands as Colindres hits the pavement. Police find him carrying a third firearm.
The officers and EMS responders render aid before Colindres is taken to Hackensack Meridian Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen.
He was pronounced dead at 7:13 p.m., less than 45 minutes from the time of the initial call, said Platkin.
At least nine mass shootings have taken place nationwide so far during Labor Day weekend, leaving at least 10 people dead, according to Gun Violence Archive.
The mass shootings, which the organization defines as incidents in which four or more people were shot or killed, not including the shooter, took place in cities including Norfolk, Va., Charleston, S.C., and Chicago, among others.
The deadliest shooting of the weekend so far, according to the group, took place in Saint Paul, Minn., where three people died and two others were injured on Sunday in the city’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood.
Tucson, AZ – Pima County Constable’s Office (PCCO) Constable Deborah Martinez-Garibay was murdered in the line of duty while serving an eviction notice on Aug. 25.
The fatal attack occurred at the Lind Commons Apartment Complex located at 3493 East Lind Road at approximately 11:15 a.m., CBS News reported.
Constable Martinez-Garibay, 43, responded to the apartment complex to meet up with the property manager, 28-year-old Angela Fox-Heath, so they could serve an eviction notice on 24-year-old Gavin Lee Stansell, according to police.
But when they reached Stansell’s apartment and attempted to serve the notice, Stansell allegedly opened fire on them, CBS News reported.
Police raced to the scene and found Fox-Heath lying in the courtyard, according to The Arizona Republic.
She succumbed to her wounds at the scene.
A SWAT team responded to the apartment complex and entered Stansell’s residence, where they located Constable Martinez-Garibay, CBS News reported.
The constable was also pronounced dead at the scene.
Stansell was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the apartment, according to police.
CHICAGO (WLS) — Chicago Alderman Matt O’Shea returned to the scene outside the 22nd Police District, where a Sunday night car chase ended with a 46-year-old woman shot dead and a 42-year-old man, who was driving one of the vehicles, wounded.
“Monterey Avenue here had shell casings, 15-to-20 right here, where the offenders fired at the victims who were parked 20 feet from the door of the police station,” said O’Shea, who represents the city’s 19th Ward.
The shooting started east of the station. Police said the victims were chased by another vehicle and shot at for several minutes. They tried to seek safety at the Morgan Park station, but the shooters didn’t care.
“The victims pulled in here seeking shelter,” O’Shea said while standing outside the driveway station. “They were sitting ducks in that car.”
Several shots fired at the car struck the police station, including a window of an office where officers were working.
“Unbelievable. Just another example of how the bad guys have no fear being held accountable,” O’Shea said. “The criminals are winning. They fear nothing. We’ve created this criminal justice system, that they’ll never be held accountable. Everything’s a slap on the wrist.”
CPD Supt. David Brown vowed to find and hold those responsible accountable.
“Criminals, particularly violent criminals, feel empowered… They have no respect for life or law enforcement and our officers’ lives,” Brown said. “It is shocking that a police district is not a safe space. But, our police officers have been attacked these last two-and-a-half years at levels not seen in the city’s history.”
O’Shea called the shooters “urban terrorists.”
“Multiple locations, the offenders stalked, chased the victims, riddled the car with gunfire,” O’Shea said. “This wasn’t random. This was targeted.”
Mayor Lori Lightfoot introduced her picks for the interim civilian police oversight commission, hoping they can play a role in improving public safety.
“A fundamental part of improving safety is having the people in the community believe that the police are legitimate forces for good, and that’s a huge issue all over our city,” Lightfoot said. “We’ve got to keep doing the work of holding violent dangerous people accountable no matter where they are, no matter what part of the city they’re in.”
