New Jersey police say officer’s home was targeted in drive-by shooting

Authorities in New Jersey say two officers were targeted in their home after six bullets struck their house in a suspected drive-by shooting this week.

With the officers in their home was their 10-day-old infant, though no one was reported injured in the incident, according to ABC News.

“Thank God the officers and their baby were uninjured,” said Camden County Police Chief Joseph Wysocki at a press conference Thursday, adding, “I do know that this was a targeted attack against this residence and the officers inside.”

Authorities said a Honda Odyssey pulled up to the home on Tuesday and opened fire.

The vehicle has since been recovered, and police are searching for the vehicle’s owner, driver or additional passengers.

“It’s critical for us to speak to the owner, the occupants or friends of anybody that operates this vehicle,” Wysocki said during the press conference.

There is a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects related to the Tuesday incident.

Officials have not named the officers involved but said they were both born and raised in Camden, N.J., while one officer has been on the force for more than four years.

The alleged targeted shooting comes just days after two Los Angeles deputy sheriffs were ambushed in their vehicle by a gunman.

Those officers, a 31-year-old woman and 24-year-old man, are recovering in the hospital after undergoing surgery for their bullet wounds while authorities still search for the gunman, USA Today reported.
