NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Authorities have apprehended the suspect charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting and wounding two Newark police officers.
Police took 30-year-old Kendall Howard into custody shortly after 11 a.m. Wednesday. They didn’t provide details on how he was able to evade capture overnight in the six-story apartment building where he hid after allegedly shooting the officers Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities say Howard opened fire in a parking lot outside the building. The officers returned fire and the gunman fled into the building.
One of the officers is expected to be released from the hospital Wednesday and the other is expected to be released within the next few days.
