Dad gets three years forleaving out gun that sonused to shoot, kill boy
TOMS RIVER — A Toms River man, who accepted re-sponsibility for the fatal shooting of his 6-year-oldneighbor by his 4-year-old son, was sentenced Thurs-day to three years in prison for leaving the loaded riflethat killed the boy unsecured and accessible to the chil-dren in his home.
Before Anthony Senatore, 35, of McCormick Drive,was sentenced for his role in the 2013 shooting death ofBrandon Holt, he told Superior Court Judge Wendel E.Daniels that his lapse in judgment will haunt two fam-ilies forever.
“The events of April 8, 2013, have left a permanentmark in the life of two families who could not haveimagined that such a horrific event would occur,” Sena-tore said, adding that he thinks about the tragedy allday, every day.
“Although I will be sentenced this morning to a termof imprisonment, the torment of these thoughts will oc-cupy me throughout my existence on this earth,'” Sena-tore said.

JACKSON — A State Police sergeant’s teenage daugh-ter who dressed like Hitler and posted on social media apicture of a popular gathering spot for Orthodox Jews—with the caption “perfect bombing time” — may havebehaved offensively, but not criminally, authoritiessaid.
The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office examined theTwitter post and a cache of other pro-Hitler images bythe Jackson teen and her associates and concluded thatthey did not amount to any credible threat.
“There was never any danger being posed to the com-munity,” said Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the office.“It didn’t rise to anything criminal.”
