A Newark police officer was in fair condition yesterday at a New Brunswick hospital, where he was taken after accidentally shooting himself in the stomach when he tried to remove his gun from its holster at his Edison apartment...Segarra ran to a neighbor's apartment and banged on the door for help, said Edison police officer Robert Dudash. The neighbor came to the door and tried to assist Segarra and called township police.
Why would he have the neighbor call? Doesn't he have a phone?
And why call for the police, not an ambulance?
