They were trying to determine whether there had, indeed, been any shots fired in the area, he said. A large law enforcement contingent converged on the Bridewell Place store off Route 3.

Bergen Prosecutor: Rockland Stalker's Bogus 'Active Shooter' Call Brings SWAT To Park Ridge UPDATE (MAY 8, 2019): As coincidences go, it's odd: A bogus 911 "active shooter" call that brought a SWAT team and swarms of other responders to a Park Ridge home had nothing to do with a bank robbery across town that occurred at almost the same time, authorities said. Questions of a possible connection arose after authorities last week announced that Austin Parks, 48, of Spring Valley had been charged with making the April 17 call. However, a senior law enforcement official told Daily Voice that the call was "unrelated...oddly" to the robbery at nearly the same time of an Oritani Bank braā€¦
