King says he and the department are sorting the situation currently, but that one call to police reported a shooting. There was no shooting, King said.
Capt. Timothy Wagner, the KPD’s public information officer, says at 10:27 a.m. today, Kearny police received a 911 call reporting an assault at the Walmart store at 150 Harrison Ave. in Kearny. Officers located a man inside the store who sustained a deep laceration to the back of his head.
