The Ocean County Prosecutors office have charged a Maine man with attempted murder and multiple weapons offenses following a police-involved shooting last month in South Toms River.

Ocean County Prosecutor Brad Billhimer said Brian Lanzim, 37, of Bangor, Maine, was charged with three counts of attempted murder, along with weapons offenses, burglary, terroristic threats and 22 counts of possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines in connection with the April 29 incident.

According to prosecutors, officers from the South Toms River Police Department responded to a residence on Dover Road after receiving reports that Lanzim had threatened residents of the home and was traveling from Maine to New Jersey while armed.

While officers were stationed near the residence, authorities said Lanzim drove his vehicle across the front lawn toward responding officers, forcing them to take cover behind a fence. Prosecutors allege Lanzim then exited the vehicle and attempted to force entry through a locked door of the home.

Officers confronted Lanzim, who authorities said was wearing body armor and carrying a handgun. During the encounter, a South Toms River police officer fired his service weapon, striking Lanzim in the pelvis and hand.

Officials said officers disarmed Lanzim and rendered medical aid before he was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for treatment.

Investigators later discovered that Lanzim allegedly had a loaded rifle and numerous large-capacity ammunition magazines inside his vehicle.

After being released from the hospital, Lanzim was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he remains pending a detention hearing.

The investigation remains ongoing and is being conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and Professional Standards Unit. Prosecutors said additional information will be released at the conclusion of the investigation
