On Monday, the Berkeley Township Police Department reported 19-year-old Keith Pinto succumbed to his injuries after lightning struck a beach in Ocean County.<\/p>\n<p>Officials reported seven others were either struck or hurt during the incident and taken to a nearby hospital for non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was kind of bizarre because all of a sudden the lightning bolt came straight down,\u201d one witness explained. \u201c\u2026About eight police cars came down the street. They surrounded the boy and were doing the best they could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) stated his heart was with the family and friends of Pinto as he was praying for the full recovery of those injured.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve spoken to Mayor Carmen Amato and offered the full support and assistance of our administration during this difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovMurphy\/status\/1432479758454038539?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/new-orleans-police-dept-deploys-anti-looting-task-force\/\">New Orleans Police Dept.
