A patrolman responding to a report that a man was "breaking up everything" in an apartment shot and killed the man early Friday, the Middlesex County prosecutor's office said. The shooting happened while the man, Curtis Good, was visiting a girlfriend and her family. The call for aid came at 1:32 a.m. from the woman's 18-year-old son, the prosecutor's office said. Patrolman Carmen Fazzolari arrived two minutes later and entered the apartment. Another officer arrived two minutes later and was speaking to the teenager outside when shots were heard. Patrolman Fazzolari fired eight shots from his .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol, six of which struck Mr. Good in the torso, the authorities said. Mr. Good received first aid at the scene, and was pronounced dead at 2:21 a.m. at Raritan Bay Medical Center.[more ] and [more ]
