Gunfire at CVS Pharmacy on College Drive
An armed suspect was shot by police at a CVS store in Gloucester Township, Camden County, on Friday afternoon, 6abc.com reports, citing the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
The incident occurred around 4:45 p.m. in the 700 block of College Drive. Officers transported the suspect to Cooper University Hospital for treatment. Authorities described the shooting as non-fatal but declined to give further details on the suspect's condition.
No police officers sustained injuries.
The Prosecutor's Office taped off the CVS Pharmacy with crime scene tape while investigators processed the scene. Officials said they could not release additional information in order to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation.
A witness who had stopped at a nearby Dunkin' before collecting her children from school told Action News she heard one or two gunshots.
"Decided to stop at the Dunkin' before I picked up my kids from school, and as soon as I pull up and I was about to go to the drive through, all you heard is the gunshots, and then everybody just kind of frantically running out," she said. "Everything just ran through my mind at once. I just had to get out of there."
The Camden County Prosecutor's Office confirmed the investigation remains active and ongoing.
