Two Republican city council members in New Jersey have been slain in the last week after one was shot to death in the community of Franklin on Wednesday.

Russell Heller, a 51-year-old GOP borough councilman in Milford, was shot to death in the parking lot of a building owned by the public utility provider PSE&G where he worked, NJ.com reported.
