N.J. Man Allegedly Shot Neighbors in Attempted Double Murder, Then Died By Suicide

John Adamo, 54, allegedly shot Tom Kwatkoski and his wife, Jill Kwatkoski, on Monday, March 10

A man allegedly shot at his next-door neighbors and then fatally shot himself on Monday, March 10, in Berkeley Township, N.J., the Berkeley Township Police Department (BTPD) said in a Tuesday, March 11 news release.

John Adamo, 54, allegedly shot Tom Kwatkoski outside of his home. Adamo then allegedly turned his gun on Tom's wife Jill while she was inside. The BTPD responded to a call around 4:45 p.m. that there were two gunshot victims at the residence. Upon arrival, they found the married couple both suffering from gunshot wounds. They were airlifted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, N.J., where they are in critical but stable condition.

Before Adamo was found dead inside his own home, the local SWAT teams surrounded the building “in an attempt to have him surrender.” After two and a half hours, the SWAT team forced entry inside, where they found him deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The SWAT team also discovered a pressure cooker inside the home, and then neighbors evacuated for safety concerns that it was an explosive. The New Jersey State Police Bomb Squad confirmed it was not.

A neighbor told The New York Post that the Kwatkoski’s placed cameras that were facing Adamo’s house, as well as a “No Trespassing” sign.

“I don’t know what was going on with them, but it was back and forth and going on for years,” the neighbor added.

"I can't understand how it could have possibly gotten to this, so it's sad, very sad," neighbor Deborah Nowakoski told CBS New York.

"They've been in a longtime dispute. I don't know what brought it to that point. They have the cameras aimed at each other's houses, but in my book they were all nice," neighbor Joe Spicciatie said, per CBS New York.

"We're all friends in the neighborhood and, you know, we have parties together," Louie Pascalli told the outlet. "[There was] always friction, but never anything serious like this."

Dwyane Wade feels 'strong and healthy' after cancer battle
Dwyane Wade feels "strong" and "healthy" after his battle with cancer. The 43-year-old former basketball star - who is married to actress Gabrielle Union - had a cancerous tumor removed from his kidney in December 2023 and he's now explained he's "free" of the disease almost two years after his shock diagnosis. During an appearance on 'Today with Jenna and Friends', he said: "It was cancer [but] it was only Stage 1. "Thank God that we caught it early. Now I’m back. I’m strong, I’m healthy. I feel great. I’m just a little more cautious ... "[I'm taking more time to] look around and really smell the moments in life [and] appreciate it all just a little bit more. I feel like one of the lucky ones. I’m cancer free." During the interview, Dwayne explained he initially saw a doctor as a precaution because both his father and grandfather had been diagnosed with prostate cancer - and he was blindsided by the results of the tests. He said: "I just started to be like, okay, well this is probably a part of my genetics and my history, let me go get checked out. When I turned 40, I went into the doctor and I was like: ‘Listen, I want to know everything.’ And in the midst of that, I was like: ‘Here are a few things that I’ve been feeling' ... "I got a call from my doctor and in the midst of that call, you could just hear her uncertainty. They thought they saw something on my kidney. They were like: ‘Well, we don’t know if it’s cancerous, but there’s something on there'." He went on to have surgery to remove the mass and Dwayne struggled with the idea of feeling "weak" - and he didn't want his wife to see him post-op. The former sports star said: "No one has ever really experienced me being weak. "I’ve always been the strong one, the most confident one, the world champion that has lifted the trophies over his head. That’s the image, but this was a moment where I knew I was going to be uncertain and a little weak ... "Once I came out of surgery, it was a pain that I had never felt before ... [I was] most afraid of being that vulnerable [in front of my wife}. "It sounds crazy because those are supposed to be the ones you want to be there in those moments of weakness ... but you don’t want them to see you in that space." It comes after Gabrielle previously admitted her husband's cancer journey had been a "challenge". Appearing on 'The View', the 'Bring It On' actress was admitted it took her "a while" to come to terms with his diagnosis, and her mind immediately went to the "absolute worse-case". She added: "You hear cancer [and] you're paralyzed because you think of the absolute worst-case scenario. "I've had so many friends who are cancer survivors. I didn't go there; I went to 'he's gone.' " She also revealed her husband decided not to share the diagnosis with the family for some time. She explained: "He didn't tell everybody. He didn't even tell our whole family. He really wanted this to be very under the radar. He didn't tell anyone."
