“I have never seen nothing like this. Not around here. It’s scary, really,” said Tom Propheita from Vineland.
The incident happened approximately around 5:30 a.m. in the Penn Lincoln Mobile Home Park between Brandywine Drive and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Officials say one officer of the Vineland Police Department fired his service weapon, fatally wounding an unidentified male.
The male was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after, according to police.
“I heard the boom, and then the gunshot,” said resident Millie Martinez.
Video from the scene also showed an ambulance on its side, a police SUV with front-end damage, another police SUV on its side, and a badly damaged red sedan.
It is still unclear how the vehicles were damaged and how it relates to the shooting investigation.
“It was terrifying,” said Nykita Holley from Vineland.
Three Vineland police officers sustained minor injuries during the incident.
They have since been treated and released, officials say.
The investigation is ongoing, and no further information is being released at this time.
