CPR was in progress as a shooting victim was taken to Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in grave condition with a gunshot wound in the chest following the incident on West Englewood Avenue off the corner of Reade Street shortly before 8:30 a.m. Saturday, they said.
He was pronounced dead at EHMC at 9:17 a.m., according to the office of Acting New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin in Trenton. His identity was temporarily being withheld.
At least two stabbing victims were also hospitalized in what was described as a domestic violence incident involving a knife-wielding suicidal resident, responders said.
Their conditions also couldn't be immediately determined.
Two police officers required hospital attention for trauma, they said.
State law requires the state Attorney General's Office to investigate all deaths in New Jersey that occur “during an encounter with a law enforcement officer acting in the officer’s official capacity or while the decedent is in custody."
The guidelines guarantee that the investigation by the attorney general's Office of Public Integrity and Accountability (OPIA) is done “in a full, impartial and transparent manner," removing politics or personal agendas.
Once the investigation is complete, the results are presented to a grand jury.
The grand jury reviews a host of evidence -- including witness interviews, body and dashcam video, and forensic and autopsy results -- to determine whether or not there's cause to suspect any wrongdoing on the part of law enforcement.
