In the United States at least 3 people are reported to have been killed after a shooting incident this morning in New Jersey.

Police were called to a supermarket in Old Bridge.

The suburb is about 25 miles from New York.

Reports say there was a confrontation with the gunman who was killed during the incident.

The store and its car parking were closed today.

Reports say the New Jersey Transit closed its nearby park-and-ride lot and told riders that they could park in other park-and-ride lots or could ride the North Jersey Coast rail line.

Journalist Frederick Bernas is in New York.

He says the number of casualties is not yet clear.
