In what is being described as the most vicious and savage criminal act in North Arlington history, the killings took place a few hours after Spain defeated Argentina in the FIFA World Cup, 1-0 where patrons gathered at the Ridge Road sports bar.
This is the second major incident to take place here in North Arlington, which was once regarded as a small suburban community, and the gateway to Bergen County.
Earlier this year federal authorities raided a Belleville Turnpike juice bar known at The Peak as part of a far wider narcotics sweep that took place here in Hudson and Bergen Counties.
The business since the raid has apparently closed.
Since this is a developing story, NA TODAY will post when new information becomes available.
