Two police officers were wounded during a shootout in Jersey City Thursday.

Officials say one officer was shot in the face and the other was hit in the neck from a shotgun blast as they were entering an apartment.

Three more officers who entered the building were shot but the wounds were not life-threatening.

When the gunfight was over the two suspects were dead.

The two suspects were wanted in a connection with an arm robbery.

I was born in New Jersey and this does not surprise me. You can walk one block and have a rich area and walk in the opposite direction and be poor. I also have several family members in the police force up there; maybe I’ll call them to get more information.
