NJ Not Planning To Boost Security After Florida Shootings

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey officials say they're not planning any extra security measures in the state following a mass shooting at a crowded gay nightclub in Florida that left at least 50 people dead.

But they are reminding residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to authorities.

State police say New Jersey homeland security officials have not detected any credible threats in the wake of Sunday's shooting in Orlando. But they say authorities continue to closely monitor the situation.

Law enforcement authorities in the state's major cities and at the Jersey Shore — home to many gay clubs — said they had no immediate plans to beef up security or impose new policies.
