Cape May, NJ – In a shocking development, Cape May Mayor Zachary Mullock was reportedly threatened by unknown gunmen late Thursday evening. Authorities say the incident occurred near the mayor’s private residence around 9:30 PM, when two masked individuals approached him and issued direct threats before fleeing the scene. No injuries were reported.
According to preliminary investigations, law enforcement suspects the perpetrators may be connected to a series of recent criminal activities targeting local officials and civic projects. These include the controversial redevelopment efforts along the Cape May waterfront, which have faced vocal opposition from certain groups.
Mayor Mullock, who was elected on a platform of transparency and urban renewal, has been at the center of several major policy decisions in recent months. His office confirmed he is cooperating fully with investigators and remains committed to his duties despite the threat.
“We will not be intimidated,” Mullock said in a brief statement Friday morning. “Cape May is a strong community, and I have full faith in our police department to bring those responsible to justice.”
The Cape May Police Department, working in coordination with the New Jersey State Police, has increased security around key municipal locations and is reviewing nearby surveillance footage for leads.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact the Cape May Police Department tip line. Authorities are treating this as an active investigation and have not ruled out any motives, including political intimidation.
