An off-duty New Jersey police officer and new father took his own life by shooting himself in the head after being involved in a serious crash over the weekend. According to officials, Roselle Park police patrolman Edward Nortrup, 39, committed suicide inside his mangled SUV in Matawan on Sunday while firefighters were getting equipment from their vehicle to extract him. The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office wrote in a press release that Nortrup was driving along Broad Street at around noon when he appeared to have lost control of his black Nissan SUV and careened into two parked cars. His SUV then partially rolled over before coming to a stop, reported Patch com. As first responders on the scene left Nortrup's vehicle to go get tools needed to free him, the prosecutor said the officer got a hold of a firearm and shot himself in the head. It remains unclear at this time what might have driven the 13-year veteran and married father-of-one to commit suicide.🗿#RIP
Hundreds of Central American migrants forced their way across the Guatemalan border into Mexico on Monday after the Mexican government denied them free transit through the country to the United States' southern border. A caravan of 2,000 migrants, mostly Hondurans, gathered before dawn Monday along the Rodolfo Robles International Bridge spanning the Suchiate River between Guatemala and Mexico. Hundred were seen crossing the river into southern Mexico. Amid shouts and even some fireworks they began wading across the shallow river. According to AFP, Mexican security forces fired tear gas as the migrants attempted to flee to Mexico through the river's shallow waters. It is the first major caravan since the United States and Mexico agreed to work together to combat migrant crossings through the Mexico-Guatemala border.
