STORM WATCH

Nor’easter to bring heavy rain, strong winds and coastal flooding to New Jersey

The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office is seeking the public’s help identifying the person responsible for shooting a 4-year-old girl in Asbury Park.
The shooting happened Tuesday around 1:30 p.m. outside the girl’s home on Boston Way. The child was shot in the upper thigh, breaking the child’s leg.
“Enough is enough,” prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni said in a statement. “We have a toddler who was struck and injured by a stray bullet while sitting outsider her apartment in the middle of the day…These senseless acts of violence must stop.”
The child is expected to fully recover.
Police did not release a description of the suspect.
