Police in New Jersey arrested an actor from The Sopranos Thursday following a road rage incident in which he allegedly shot a woman in the face, prompting a lockdown at Stockton University.

Ernest Wesley Heinz, 46, of Port Republic, has been charged with attempted homicide after he allegedly fired a gun while both his vehicle and a woman’s car were stopped at a red light on W. Jimmie Leeds Road near Redwood Avenue around 12:52 p.m., Galloway Township police said.

He was also charged with aggravated assault with a Firearm, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Police said the woman, Maritza Arias-Galva, had signaled to merge when Heinz’s vehicle cut her off. At the light, he allegedly yelled at her, threatened to kill her, and fired a single shot.

The bullet struck Arias-Galva in the upper nose, police said. Though injured, she remained conscious and was able to speak with officers when they arrived. Authorities said her injuries are non‑life‑threatening and she is currently recovering.
