Police on the lookout for whoever put 5 bullet holes into a police vehicle with 2 officers inside

Police believe a gunman intentionally riddled a police SUV with gunfire in New Jersey's capital city.

Two Trenton police officers escaped injury as five bullets ripped into their vehicle on Stuyvesant Avenue late Monday evening.

Police Lt. Don Fillinger tells The Times of Trenton the officers reported hearing six shots in the immediate vicinity and they soon found out the gunman had been shooting at them.

An officer carrying a sub-machine gun stood guard as police processed the crime scene Tuesday.

Fillinger says “if they're trying to kill two of us, they may do a drive-by and come back and try to kill all of us.”

No arrests have been made.

A $20,000 reward has been offered by the state chapter of the PBA for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with info should call police at (609) 989-3663, send an e-mail or submit at tip online.
