The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said its officers are among those responding to the incident. Local schools have been put on lockdown as the police operation continues.
Police warned on radio transmission that the suspects are shooting at anyone they see on the street, NJ.com reported. One officer was heard saying that gunfire begins each time a police officer attempts to move toward the bodega.
The two suspects reportedly arrived in the area in a U-haul van and are carrying “long guns.”
