Jordan Woolfolk, of Freehold Borough, has been charged with two counts of first-degree attempted murder, along with single counts of second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon (handgun), second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and third-degree hindering in connection with the incident.
The case background …
On Tuesday, Dec. 16, at 1:26 a.m., Freehold Borough police responded to Jackson Street on a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, officers discovered one victim suffering from a gunshot wound.
