New Jersey suspected gunman wanted for alleged attempted murder of Newark police officers

New Jersey investigators are urging the public to be on the lookout for the "armed and dangerous" man accused in the attempted murder of two Newark police officers on Tuesday afternoon.

Kendall Howard, 30, shot two Newark Police officers on Tuesday while they were trying to question him near Chancellor Avenue and Van Velsor Place, the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said. Police were intensifying their manhunt on Wednesday.

Officers received a tip shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday from "concerned citizen" who thought they recognized a suspect from a previous shooting. Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé said officers were working to identify the suspect and went into a local building to try to do so.

Armed and dangerous would describe roughly 50% of the males living in Newark. Good luck finding that needle. Maybe cordon off the city then do a Guinness worthy stop & frisk.
