Toms River Police, with the help of OCSD, Beachwood PD, OnStar and cellular carriers were able to apprehend the shooting suspect who was armed with an AR-type automatic weapon.
Reports were that the subject had fired multiple rounds at a residence on Red Cedar Street in Toms River, New Jersey not long before fleeing in a 2014 White GMC Sierra Pickup.
The suspect was apprehended outside his storage trailer on Mizzen in Beachwood, New Jersey where officers were expecting him to ditch his firearm and continue to flee.
It’s not an “Assault Rifle”. For the love of Christ call it an AR or a rifle.
Dennis Addesso didn’t that serial robber “assault” someone with a rock last week!! Ppl are stupid.
Dennis Addesso
Dennis Addesso just bustin balls pew pew
Brian Carty cool story bro.
Dennis Addesso due to common usage it would now be considered an assault rifle in a dictionary.
Scott Thomas common sense is not a a common virtue. If you’re a reporter… know the verbiage.
Dennis Addesso …what? The verbiage would be considered correct due to common use.
Dennis Addesso
This is how the firearm description was given over the air.
Commonly used incorrectly. Don’t be a lemming.
Ocean County Scanner News unless he was ripping through the streets with a frickin’ machine gun… why not simply say “AR” like the other news pages said.
Dennis Addesso but common use will change the definition of a word or saying.
Dennis Addesso Unfortunately the media has portrayed them as such and people who eat everything the media spews have made it common incorrect terminology.
Gangsta
Dennis Addesso
And that’s really the most important aspect of this story.
I’m not a common guy I guess. It’s an AR… or Armalite Rifle. Ignorant snowflakes call it an assault rifle… maybe I just expect more from local reporters.
Brad Louis I also commented how great Blue did. But if you’re looking for some keyboard warrior antics, I’m your huckleberry
Dennis Addesso
I didn’t see your other comment.
I state my regret.
Brad Louis all good brother. 😂
Ocean County Scanner News and you even spelled RIFLE wrong.
Dennis Addesso I call it a defense rifle

Scott Thomas this is what I consider and “assault rifle” and defend my home with it need be! You come shimmying up my drainpipe I’ll brain you with this fucker! It’s got tunsten reinforced gasket rings on it!!!
Dennis Addesso Maybe expect more from the police or OCSD then? We had no images of the riffle, just the report that it was definitely an “assault riffle” as per the radio. I could have filtered the news and put AR or “a weapon” as many do. But our goal here is to not filter the news. We hold back things like how the suspect is being tracked when we know it during the pursuit, but we don’t broadcast that. We did release this information after he was apprehended. But again, we report what we hear, and what we know. We don’t assume the police are wrong at the time of the event but next time, if you wish, we can wait for a press release, and not worry about letting you know what’s happening before all the other news outlets.
Ocean County Scanner News I highly doubt a policeman said “assault rifle” on the radio. He/she knows better. One of your minions heard AR and assumed Assault Rifle. Your lack of knowledge of the topic reported inaccurate news.
Great work
Thank you TOMS RIVER POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Great work BLUE 💙

Walter Marzulli I’ll bet a $100 the suspect wasn’t an NRA member.

Thank you TRPD👮
Can’t wait to see him on JailBase lol
WTF Toms River….really going downhill!
“Shouting suspect?”
Bring back the death penalty!!!! Deport all terrorists!!!
Do you think law-enforcement would know the difference between an assault rifle and a basic semi automatic rifle. But who knows he may have had an illegal full auto highly doubtful though.
Justin Scott I seriously doubt any police officer actually said “assault rifle”. Probably said “AR type” rifle and the translation was lost in ignorance
Justin Scott for the record law enforcement does know the difference between the 2
We’ll see what the proof says lol
Wow this is WAY too close to home. Thank God he was found and apprehended. Thank you to the police!
So glad they got him. Good work. Prayers and stay safe.
Please define an assault rifle. Was it a legal gun?
