WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK IS HAPPENING IN NEW JERSEY?
This happened a week ago:
And then this news broke today, one week later:
51-year-old Milford Councilman Russell Heller was found dead on Wednesday just after 7 am in the Somerset parking lot of the local energy company PSE&G where Heller worked, according to the New York Post.
Police identified 58-year-old former employee Gary Curtis as the suspect, and discovered him dead in his car from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police say he shot himself around three and a half hours after he allegedly shot Heller.
The fatal shooting of Heller comes exactly one week after Sayreville Councilwoman Dwumfour was fatally shot in her SUV outside her home. Heller was found dead around 15 miles from where Dwumfour's body was discovered.
Two GOP councilmembers gunned down near or in their cars 15 miles from each other in one of the smallest states of the Union.
But so far, authorities are saying there's no known connection between the two shootings!
Authorities have not connected the shootings, with the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office saying that the shooting of Heller was an "isolated incident" and he was the "intended target."
Man, Republicans might just need to get the heck out of New Jersey.
Either Republicans are being purposefully targeted or New Jersey is just an exceedingly dangerous place for anyone to live.
