Neighbors say a
fatal early morning police shooting at a New Jersey mobile home park over the weekend was preceded by a man driving a backhoe that damaged several vehicles and a home.
The New Jersey attorney general’s office said a Vineland police officer fired during an encounter at the Penn Lincoln Mobile Home Park in Vineland at about 5:30 a.m. Saturday.
Neighbors told reporters that before the shooting the backhoe driver overturned several cars, including a police sport utility vehicle and an ambulance.
It also did major damage to another police SUV and a civilian sedan.
Authorities haven’t released details about the shooting.
