Two Killed in Hackensack Neighbors’ Dispute

The shooting occurred just before 9:30 a.m. at an apartment complex on Linden Street in Hackensack, New Jersey. Hackensack NJ police got a 911 call from a person who reported hearing gunshots in the complex.

When Hackensack officers arrived at the building, they saw a victim in the lobby. The victim had suffered fatal gunshot wounds and was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The second victim, a 63-year-old man, allegedly shot and killed the first victim, a 66-year-old man. The second victim then reportedly walked outside, got into his car, and used the handgun to shoot himself.
