A man was taken to the hospital after he was shot while trying to flee from police in Deptford Township, New Jersey, on Thanksgiving.
Deptford police were called to the Fairfield Inn on the 1100 block of Hurffville Road on Thursday for a disturbance. When officers arrived on the scene, a man jumped from a second-floor window and fled from police, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said. During the pursuit, a Deptford officer fired a shot that struck the suspect, who was then taken into custody and transported to the hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, the prosecutor’s office said.
The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the incident.
