Newark Police Arrest Men Accused of Using Gun During Dispute

Gun Crimes in Newark NJNewark police arrested four local men who allegedly used a gun to threaten someone at a Newark bodega.

The suspects reportedly got into an altercation at the Yeci Supermarket in Newark, New Jersey. At some point, the dispute turned violent and one of the suspects reportedly brandished a firearm.
