Police in New Jersey arrested an actor from The Sopranos Thursday following a road rage incident in which he allegedly shot a woman in the face, prompting a lockdown at Stockton University.
Ernest Wesley Heinz, 46, of Port Republic, has been charged with attempted homicide after he allegedly fired a gun while both his vehicle and a woman’s car were stopped at a red light on W. Jimmie Leeds Road near Redwood Avenue around 12:52 p.m., Galloway Township police said.
He was also charged with aggravated assault with a Firearm, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
