On Wednesday, September 19, 2018, at approximately 1800 hours the Readington Twp. Police Department were advised of a suspect wanted for double murder in East Goshen Pennsylvania, that was possibly heading towards Whitehouse Station. The Readington Township Police Department in conjunction with the Hunterdon County SWAT Team secured an area in Whitehouse Station to prepare for the suspects possible arrival. The possible destination was saturated with a heavy police presence of uniformed officers, SWAT members and plain clothes officers to assure the safety of all residents.

The suspect never traveled to New Jersey and at approximately 1:00am was involved in a police pursuit in the area of West Bradford Township where he reportedly crashed into a house and after an exchange of gunfire was pronounced dead at the scene.

Nearby residents had been notified of the police presence in the area and were requested to shelter in place with the aid of reverse 911. Once police learned that there was no longer a threat in the area, residents were advised that the shelter in place was lifted with the aid of the same communication system.
