CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS 3) A man fatally shot four people before turning the gun on himself during an apparent domestic dispute inside a Camden home Monday evening, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's office.
Officers were called to the 1400 block of Princess Avenue after reports of gunfire at about 5 p.m.
Prosecutor's Office spokesman Jason Laughlin said a 54-year-old man shot and killed three females, ages 33, 57 and 81, as well as a 33-year-old man before shooting himself once in the head.
The gunman and the 57-year-old female were taken to Cooper University Hospital where they were pronounced dead. All other victim's died at the scene.
Officials said two children, ages 7 and 10, escaped to a neighbor's home without injury.
The shooter and the victims were all apparently related. Their names have not yet been released.
Neighbors said the family that lived in the home was fairly active in the community.
Laughlin said police had previously been called to the home in June for an undisclosed domestic dispute.
Got ya beat Widerstand... Not only do I NOT watch the news, but I do watch the commercials only, for my entertainment! Newspapers? Nope.
Read the comics, and do the NYTimes daily crossword puzzle ta learn new words, and info.
Set your TiVo ta catch ONLY commercials. You'll be glad ya did! [And your spirit shall soar!]
I had an old tv up until about 5 days ago when it started to smell really hot and spark, so instead of letting it start a fire and tossed in a dumpster... Better safe then sorry and 20 years is a good life for a tv.
