Man killed after wounding two officers in South River
12/21/00 7:21 PM
SOUTH RIVER, N.J. -- A man enraged by an argument with his mother ran through his neighborhood firing a shotgun Thursday morning, grazing two bystanders before exchanging shots with police. He wounded two officers before being shot dead, authorities said. The injured officers, one of whom is the town's police chief, were in
critical but stable condition following surgery, and are expected to recover. The gunman, Edward Abrams Jr., was believed to be a lifelong resident of this Middlesex County borough of about 14,000. Abrams, 31, was jobless and lived with his mother, who was unhurt. The nature of the dispute was not immediately known, Middlesex County Prosecutor Glenn Berman said. Berman gave the following account: Police got a 911 call at 10:36 a.m. reporting a man with a gun. The call did not come from the mother. Chief Wesley J. Bomba and Lt. John Bouthillette responded, since they were in the department's temporary headquarters in trailers only a few blocks away. Abrams had already fired several times. One pellet grazed the back of a motorist on William Street, Timothy Matchett, 37, and another went through a window and grazed the neck of Caroline Ramos. They were treated and released from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, about six miles away. When Bomba, 56, and Bouthillette, 39, drove onto William Street, Abrams pointed the gun at them. The chief got out of the car and was struck in the right groin and upper left shoulder. He was able to fire three shots from his .40-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun. The prosecutor did not know whether the chief or Abrams fired first. Bouthillette was either in the passenger seat or beginning to exit when he was struck on his right side, sustaining injuries to his kidney, liver and diaphragm. He did not fire. Two officers in a car behind them, Eric Gartner and John McKenna, got out and chased Abrams into a parking lot at the park, where Gartner fired one shot and Abrams collapsed. Abrams was killed by a single shot that entered his body under his left armpit, but it has not yet been determined which officer fired the fatal shot, Berman said. Bomba, on the police force since December 1967, became chief several months ago. Bouthillette joined the department in 1986. |
That's my name (including the Jr.), I live in New Jersey, and I was 33 years old and unemployed for most of 2000.
It was an interesting week...

I'd laugh but I'm afraid I'll lose a filling.
