Police on the scene at 7 Ridge Road this morning.
A SWAT team was mobilized and at least one Rumson home was evacuated this morning after reports of shots being fired in a residential neighborhood of Rumson.
Authorities aren't yet talking on the record. But sources tell redbankgreen that the alleged shooter is in custody after leaving the scene.
An earlier report said police were checking area hospitals and searching locally for a man with a possible gunshot wound.
Sources say the suspect is the same well-armed man whose distraught condition led authorities to surround his Ridge Road home in February.
In that incident, 49-year-old Seth Kronengold was charged with possession of an illegal assault rifle. A relative had called police in concern for his mental state over tax issues and the loss of his car in a repossession.
are you sure this is Rumson? Where are the manicured lawns and cell phone yacking soccer moms driving range rovers??
wb - steroetype much? Little jealosy perhaps? What can we generalize about from you based on your hometown?
what's with Rumson PD calling in the SWAT team every time there is more going on in town than JV drinking. Aren't these local heros trained to handle some of this stuff themselves?
Hey barney, its county protocol. The county swat team is used by the majority of local departments to be mobilized for this type of event. 90% of small town departments cannot afford to fund their own SWAT team.
How about getting some facts before you say stupid things in a public forum?
When did Mc Cane train need the facts before saying stoopid things in public??? HAHAHA HOHOHO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only thing better than a man in uniform is Men in uniform. Yum
Since when does Rumson give a crap about County protocal ?
Too much ego over there.
McCain…county swat = grown men playing army.
It's protocol so they can justify their adult dress up fantasies
Keep piling on the liberal "dont trust the police" crap. All the naysayers would wet their pants if they had to deal with some of the people these swat guys take down.
Sheep……say "Baaaaa".
swat seems a lil overrated 4 this instance.
Rumson PD is comin off a lil weak here. I would assume they only had like 4 officers on duty at the time and most of em had no experience so they got scared and called for back up.
Who's tax dollars were wasted on this call? Rumson's or the county? I hate to know my county tax dollars are being wasted on some pansies some town think are police.
(no offense to SWAT….I'm just sayin…Rumson needs to man up)
The real issue here has nothing to do with police or the swat team. It has to do with a man who has lost everything in this economy. A man who until now, was probably on top of the world and suddenly is losing everything! Now, I have never been and never will be on top of the world and live in a nice house in Rumson, I will always struggle and I am usually the last one to defend the cops. But they are not the issue here. But I can emphized with this poor man who probably really just wanted the swat team to take his life! It's the bureacrats and the stock brokers and executives at Enron you should be screaming about.
Mark Sunset why dont you tell Rumson what they can do to "man up". You must be a Rambo to talk such a big game.
Rumson P.D. (Born to run)……..
@ TOOL DETECTOR.
I have informally told other towns how to "man up". and i kinda offer that class 4 free.
I have shown it @ many of our neighboring towns….except Fair Haven & Rumson….cuz they tend to have a problem w/ people like me.
A young black man that makes an honest living and has nice cars & owns his house.
Hey Dimwits, I live in Rumson. I know alot of the cops, most are pretty good guys. I would not call any of them pussys, not even the new guys. I don't think it was out of line to call swat based on the history of the address. Less than 4 months before many guns were found and the suspect was distraught. Now, I am not a cop and I am not a pussy, but even if I had a police issue 9mm I don't think I would attempt to enter that house in the early morning darkess with one or two guys. If there was someone in the house they could pick you of like it was a turkey shoot. Before you call any of these guys names, think about it. This includes you Mark Sunset. You are nothing more than a pussified race baiting loser. Do you really have a car and a house? WOW That's something.
You guys are missing the point, since when is an M1 Garand, a ww1 weapon, a collectors item, an assault weapon!! This guy will be charged for illegal discharge of a firearm and now will have his guns taken.
It is illegal that he fired his gun, and he should lose the right to be a responsible firearm owner, but an M1 Garand is not an assault weapon, a rock, or a baseball bat is an assault weapon…It makes me sick that we consider those with guns as 'weirdos' but you are clearly forgetting why this country will remain safe, because we have guns…Criminals will always have guns no matter what laws are passed by the bozos in trenton…so this just stands out to everyone.
I would never call a police officer a pussy. That there is asking for an asskicking or a guaranteed trip to county jail…a place that I have been…thanks to Fair Haven police and one now fired and disgraced Red Bank cop. (That RBPD had a problem with me owning Mercedes & an Audi)
I believe I used the word pansy. But I could be wrong.
Being a young black man living on the westside of Red Bank….I'm probably seen by some white guy in Rumson as a thug that smokes and sells weed and don't know what he is talking about.
And yes being where you live I guess you would have a nicer house and cars.
Vinmega, please direct us to where it is stated that anyone was arrested for possessing an M1 Garand because it is an assault weapon.
If the guy was out back shooting an M1 Garand in a suburban neighborhood (please point us to that part of the article too) then he should be locked up and have any and all weapons taken away.
Mark Sunset: blaming your "mistakes" on the Fair Haven and Red Bank cops? Own up to the fact that you fucked up and got caught at whatever it is you did. Why can't you place the blame where it belongs…on yourself?
Well the fair haven asked my friends is i was beating her. Being he stopped for making a right on red. And she is just an old friend of mine and I was giving her a ride home…..
I would say the Fair Haven cop overstepped the line.
And the Red Bank cop I had issues w/ was former officer Adams…..check his record.(he had a brutality case)
I'm not trynna look like the victim here but some officers abuse their power. This doesn't just happen in major cities but right here in our backyard.
I have no problem with what I have done in the past. It's a shame I am seen as the only bad guy here.
That there is asking for an asskicking or a guaranteed trip to county jail…a place that I have been…thanks to Fair Haven police and one now fired and disgraced Red Bank cop.
Correct me if I'm wrong here…but you got sent to county jail for making a right on red and an accusation of beating your friend? Doesn't make sense to me. You're leaving something out. Warrants? Drugs? DWI? Did your friend have signs of being physically assaulted and say you did it? Or did you lie in your previous comment about being sent to jail by the FHPD? I'm confused and curious.
Mark is a dumb dumb.
Realy,he is.
Ignore him, he will go away.
Mark was the poster child for Hooked on Phonics for a short time.
Seems the retention of a education is less successful if all you do is sit around and do nothing everyday.
