Nj Officer Joseph Walker A 40-year-old New Jersey police officer from Burlington County is facing second degree murder charges stemming from a road rage shooting in Millersville, Maryland this weekend. Reports say, on a ramp near Interstate 97, just outside of Annapolis, Maryland, off duty law enforcement officer Joseph Walker opened fire killing a man. State police claim road rage led to the murder. Walker was in a minivan with his wife and three small children in Anne Arundel County around 8:30 Saturday night. Investigators say Walker followed the other driver, 36-year-old Joseph Harvey of Halethorpe, Maryland. Both men pulled over and the victim jumped out. State police say Harvey reportedly approached Walker’s van in an aggressive manner, prompting Walker to shout out that he was a police officer, before firing his 45 glock which struck and killed Harvey . Walker is a detective for the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office in North Jersey but he lives on Cambridge Court in Eastampton, Burlington County. One would think that a person of his profession could exercise better control of his emotions especially since he was off duty.
