Both officers are believed to be in stable condition, two of the sources said.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy tweeted that he was aware and “monitoring” the situation closely.
“I am in contact with local authorities and the state is providing resources as requested,” Murphy tweeted. “We will continue to support local law enforcement and ensure all residents are safe.”
The FBI Newark confirmed it is assisting in the shooting investigation.
