NJ sheriff's officer dies after fall from 9th-story window in Jersey City
A sheriff's officer is dead after he fell from a window on the ninth floor of an administrative building in Jersey City, officials said. The tragedy unfolded Friday morning at the Hudson County Administration Building, which includes several county government offices, including the sheriff's office, according to a statement from the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office. Witness Steve Roosen said he was nearby when the officer — who has since been identified as 29-year-old Justin Rivera — plunged to his death just after 9: 20 a.m. 'I heard glass shatter and then immediately looked up, and saw a guy coming straight down,' he told CBS News. 'I saw the officers perform CPR, maybe, three times, and then just stop.' He said he then 'saw two heads looking down' from a broken window, 'as everyone was coming to the scene.' Rivera, a Hudson County sheriff's officer, was rushed to Jersey City Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. 'Today is one of the saddest and most horrific days that the Hudson County Sheriff's Office has ever experienced,' Sheriff Frank Schillari said. 'We lost an excellent officer today and an outstanding young man.' An investigation into Rivera's death is ongoing, but authorities at this time believe it to be accidental in nature.
