Gerald "Skip" Tyrone Murphy, a registered sex offender who barricaded himself for days in a South Trenton home with his girlfriend's three children, was shot to death Sunday as police rescued the captives and recovered the bodies of their mother and another sibling. An officer shot Murphy because he was threatening one of the children. Murphy was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

Two police officers were injured while breaking up a large fight in the parking lot of a southern New Jersey bar. Five people were arrested after Friday night's brawl in Burlington Township, though it's still not clear what sparked the fight that eventually involved several men and women. One township officer suffered a fractured finger in the brawl and another had a back injury, and both were taken to the hospital for treatment.

Police have identified the victim in the deadly shooting and robbery inside a South Street ice cream shop early Saturday morning. Police responded to a call of a burglary in progress and shots fired at the Haagen Dazs store at about 3:30 a.m. Inside, officers found 36-year-old Tom Watson dead with multiple gunshot wounds. Watson lived in an apartment above the ice cream shop. He worked as a DJ at local bars and restaurants and he was unloading his gear after a gig when he was attacked.
