Three New Jersey cops are in the hospital after a shooter opened fire inside of their police headquarters this morning.
The three officers were shot at the Gloucester Township police headquarters by a suspect who was then shot and killed by police, Gloucester Police Chief Harry Earle told reporters today.
"Fortunately, two of those officers are in stable condition and being
treated for their wounds and should be released sometime today," Earle
said.
The third officer was shot at least twice and is undergoing surgery at Cooper University Hospital, the chief said.
The shooter was a suspect being held at the police station, according to
the Associated Press. It is unclear how the suspect was able to obtain a
weapon.
The shooting occurred inside the police station where the suspect was
also killed. Medics responded to the station at around 5:30 a.m.,
according to ABC News' Philadelphia station WPVI-TV.
"Obviously, there is a very intense investigation regarding this back at
the Gloucester Township police headquarters," Earle said.
Police operations will continue as normal in the township of 64,000 located acorss the Delaware River from Philadephia.
More information is expected at a 3 p.m. news conference.
