Speechless right now...

[Jon 264]

My family has known Roy since the shop first opened in Plainfield, and he built my fiance's engagement ring to completely custom specs... I really don't know what else to say right now...

I'm sorry to hear about this, for his family and yours.

Condolences to the family.

I was just at that Wegman's like a week ago, wow.

 

What an unfortunate incident. Best wishes to yours and the victim's family..

I just heard that the gunman shot and killed himself after shooting the store owner. What a terrible waste. Condolences to the family of the store owner.

[Nick S 2]

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the family that owned the jewelery store. This is a shame to hear. I just saw on the news that the gunman turned the gun on himself and has died.

[Maksim 1,504]

Wow. just wow. condolences to the family. It is a damn shame. As the economy struggles, more and more crimes occur. It is a rude awakening and a great loss especially when it hits so close to home. Could of been anyone's store.

 

Was the owner armed himself? anyone know?

ok, so I was wondering if there would be a thread about this on NJGF ... and there is. I was at work. my wife calls me: there are helicopters hovering over our house. Mind you, behind the small patch of woods in the back of Wegman's is my house! The wife went online - there was a shooting at the shopping plaza. at this point, no one knew anything. I told her: honey, go to the gun safe and open it - and keep it open. I was freaking out at work thinking if I should just leave - then she called me back and told me it's all over - the shooter is dead. This is so weird. I've been in that store looking for gifts for my wife. They were very nice people. So sad...

I told her: honey, go to the gun safe and open it - and keep it open.

 

 

Never leave you gun safe open. Retrieve what you need from your safe and then lock it.

Roy was a terrific man, and the only jeweler I have ever trusted 150%. I gave him a 1.5ct stone to build an engagement ring around without batting an eye, and it turned out far better than I ever could have imagined. I'm just so shocked, angry, and miserable... couldn't sleep last night at all. The world has lost a great member of society.

 

Maks - I have never noticed any weapons on Roy or anywhere in the store.

Condolences to the family

If I was home, I wouldn't. She was home alone and she's likely to panic and forget the code or something (I know my wife) if something were to happen. The safe I meant is well hidden and not at all in plain view (but accessible) - it's only got one pistol in it. Everything else is locked up in a different location, not easily accessible. Good advice though, thanks.

[Malsua 1,422]

Very sad to hear. Condolences to the family.

[Dan 177]

Was it a murder/suicide? Doesn't seem to be a robbery.

 

, then turned the gun on himself, authorities said.

[Drew 4]

I was going home after work at 5:00, saw the Helicopter zigzagging over Rte 202 and I knew something bad happened.

 

My condolences to the family.

[mikeyboyeee 66]

My condolences to Roy's family and friends. Shame another good person is lost.

Get a biometric safe, man. Key it to her fingerprints as well as yours. Push 1 button, scan your finger, and you're good.
