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.
