HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. - An investigation is underway following a police-involved shooting in Mercer County, New Jersey that left one man hospitalized.
The shooting occurred at approximately 9 p.m. Monday in the parking lot of the Krauszer’s Food Store on Greenwood Avenue in Hamilton.

Johnson fled the scene on foot, but was later located at Capital Health Regional Medical Center where he is currently in critical but stable condition suffering from a gunshot wound.
Johnson is facing numerous charges including attempted murder, robbery, aggravated assault, resisting arrest and other weapons offenses.
