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...

oh wow....

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

Condolences, j0n. Hope Roy's family gets justice.

Sorry to hear such bad news.

what is wrong with some people?

 

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..

Condolences to the family, and I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend.

My condolences as well

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.

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.

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.

Very sad to hear. Condolences to the family.

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

 

, then turned the gun on himself, authorities said.

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.

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.

More info.
