Murder No. 3: In broad daylight

*
Plainfield saw its third murder of this new year of 2006 in broad daylight this morning in Green Brook Park.

A man and a woman were found shot, lying in the middle of the road, just off the West End Avenue entrance to the Park.

The Courier News reported police and emergency medical personnel on the scene at
10:30 a.m.

The man, I am told, was shot in the head, and succumbed to his wounds. The Courier identifies him as Michael Gregory of Dunellen, age 41. A woman companion was also shot, and lost a lot of blood. The woman has not been identified.

Drugs are suspected in the shootings, and suspects have been detained.

this is becoming so out of control, causing fear within the community and to those who live outside of the community. It has taken Plainfield many years to get passed the reputation from the "riots" but this ongoing violence only serves as a continuum. I am a Plainfield resident and I am becoming fearful walking the streets at night. What is the mayor's office doing to protect us, making our streets and city a safer place.
