Usually we are posting routine calls about stuff to joke about, but this last week the tone has become more serious. We have seen murders, shootings robberies, and other criminal actions that resemble Camden- not the quiet suburbs. So what has been going down?
It began in Manchester with the drug deal-turned murder at the Surf & Stream Campground. A Seaside Heights man stabbed another to death over a few Xanax pills. Then we had the body found in Howell with the victims face all cut up. These stories alone shook the communities.
We then turned back to Monmouth County in Farmingdale where an officer fatally shot a man who charged the officer with a weapon. Saturday night saw a fatal pedestrian MVA in Lavallette too.
Now, our attention turns to Bricktown as of late. Friday brought a Drive-By Shooting in Brick, combined with a separate robbery of a Taxi Driver. Also Saturday night a deceased body was discovered in the Walmart parking lot. No foul play is suspected in that incident, but it was still disheartening for many.
Finally we revisit 14:00 Tuesday in the area of Brick Memorial High School. A 16 year old student was shot in the shoulder and ran into the school for help. The actual shooting took place a few blocks away on New York. This prompted a multi-jurisdictional response from the county and surrounding towns to hunt for the shooters. As of this typing (13:30) there have been NO arrests yet in the BMHS shooting incident.
Only thing missed was a shooting that happened at GreenWood Loop Road in Brick also on Sunday evening
Hi Mike. Do you know this to be true? I heard the rumors too, but never found anything official. Just curious.

We all know these things happen, but to have at least 5 murders in just over a month (3 Ocean Cty, 2 Monmouth Cty) plus all these other incidents…things used to be so great in Brick! This is crazy!
This shit is crazy
This is scary. Very troubled times we are living in.
Bec Gibson
I’m from brick, lived I point, this is crazy
Info is wrong the body in Walmart was not Saturday, it occurred Monday night. Also, should have included the 2 crimes in the neighborhoods by outback. The son that killed his father with his cellie helping him…and the girl that stabbed her fiancé then dropped him off to die at brick hospital. All bad situations for this area that use to be quiet.
Keywords… DRUG DEALS
Lakewood happened
This is all Trumps fault. Things like this didn’t happen under Obama and his watch.
Dave Meyer they happened 10 times more under Obama, put Facebook down
Michael Connolly Dennis oKKK tRuMPtArD, #nOTmyPrESidEnT…
troll
Jenny Pea I been called worse by better people
Did you really just blame the president for children being shot at? You are what’s wrong with this country… And after 3 years you’re still going to hashtag “not my president”? Really… Well like it or not, he was voted in by the American people and if he’s not your president, than this isn’t your country. Sorry for your discord.

Ok Dave I will bite on your stupid comment… It was Obama who empowered People to disrespect the men and women of blue. He was the jackass who told People they had rights and didn’t have to give in to a police officers request…. Please let me show you a prime example… https://m.facebook.com/811104302295223/posts/3088588371213460/?sfnsn=mo&d=n&vh=i

It’s just gone crazy
This world has gone crazy and now it’s hitting our small towns. Drugs and Hatred are the reasons.

You can move and get away from the present culture this country is dealing with. Unless you move to another country.

Scary

Terri Zingaro
Giana Marie Grenci
Ashlynn Freda wtf !!!!
Very sad to see Ocean County in a downward spiral.
So sad
people are angry and lashing out. blame the current political climate, and how it is promoting and condoning violence, blame the economy, blame the drug epidemic, blame a lot of things. but more specifically in our area, blame the frustration and anger that overpopulation is causing. the money that a lot of these people need to help them get over the hump and live productive lives is being diverted for one group. the waiting lists for help get longer and longer and longer….while one group gets it all. decent housing is impossible…unless you belong to one group. SNAP and other benefits are all taken. Medicaid is being throughly cheated. and i see that this is only going to get worse.
Sherwin Marchie Bacalso wasn’t I just saying yesterday how something’s going on with all these shootings and murders and people being hit by cars in TomsRiver…Brick… etc?
