Officials say a man who had been arrested in a domestic dispute earlier got into a struggle with police around 5:30am and was able to obtain a gun during the fight. One police officer was taken to surgery, and the other two suffered only "very minor" injuries. No details have been released about the shooter yet. (More New Jersey stories.)
