Seaside Heights police spotted the BMW heading south on Route 35 at over three times the posted speed limit of 35 mph and onto the Tunney Bridge. Officers tracked the BMW but did not pursue it.

⬛ Newark weapons sting goes wrong: Teen gunman kills elite officer

NEWARK — An elite unit of city police detectives investigating illegal weapons came under gunfire in a North Ward neighborhood Friday evening, leaving a 26-year-old officer dead.

Detective Joseph Azcona never made it out of his vehicle before a gunshot mortally wounded him, officials said Saturday morning.

One of his colleagues remains hospitalized with injuries from the shooting, as does the 14-year-old suspect who has been charged with murder, attempted murder and weapons offenses. Both are expected to survive.

The chaos erupted around 6:37 p.m. in the area of Broadway and Carteret Street near a White Castle, McDonald's and the Luis Munoz Elementary School.

Officials said police, working with federal support, were on a targeted operation related to firearms.

Witnesses told WCBS-TV they heard rapid gunfire after seeing officers run down the street.

During a Saturday morning news conference, bleary-eyed local and federal officials provided few details about the investigation but spoke of the bravery of Azcona and other officers.

⬛ Free schooling for unauthorized immigrants in NJ gets challenge

🍎 States must pay to send unauthorized immigrants to public schools
🍎 New Jersey lawmaker wants to overturn U.S. Supreme Court decision
🍎 Families would have to pay at least $1,000 a year

A Republican state lawmaker wants to defy a U.S. Supreme Court decision so that New Jersey taxpayers don't have to pay for the children of unauthorized immigrants to attend public schools.

Assemblyman Paul Kanitra, R-Ocean, said he visited the U.S. border with Mexico last year on a trip to Texas.

"One of the things we heard time and time again was that they were seeking out places like New Jersey and New York because of all the benefits that we were offering them," Kanitra said.

Kanitra has introduced the “Protecting Legally-Present Youngsters’ Limited Educational Resources Act.”

The bill (A5233) would make parents of unauthorized immigrants pay tuition to send their children to New Jersey schools.

Kanitra said the quality of public education in New Jersey is "going down, and down, and down" because students with English as a second language strain limited resources.

Tuition would be at least $1,000 but could reach the district's cost per pupil. In some districts, like Camden City, per-pupil spending exceeds $29,000.

New Jersey is among 19 states and the District of Columbia that have sued federal officials for not giving advance notice of these job cuts, racking up excessive expenses.

Probationary employees have either been newly hired, promoted or changed offices. They are generally subject to a probationary period of one or two years.
