Police Shoot, Kill Suspect Near NJ Tavern

Police shot and killed a suspect in a wooded area of Camden County Friday morning.

Local authorities remained mum on exactly what brought officers to the 400 block of Berlin New Freedom Road in Winslow Township shortly before 9 a.m.

Patrons at the nearby Golden Nugget Tavern reported hearing gunshots as police investigated a trailer down a nearby dirt road.

One person was taken from the scene and and later died at Cooper University Hospital, according to county prosecutors.

As SkyForce10 hovered overhead a short time later you could see investigators focusing on the small trailer. That investigation continued through the morning.
