Roads were closed for a major police response in Pemberton Township Saturday when what began as a fire in the Burlington County community, turned into a chaotic active shooter incident.Jasmin Taylor lives on Woodland Avenue and says the active shooter incident happened two doors away. She shared a Facebook live video of police running with long guns and another with a stretcher."My kids were outside.
Mark Ruquet said, "I think it’s pretty sad that that did happen. I hope nobody else was injured."Larry Blinn added, "Always worry about the police, the fire, the ambulance and, of course, it’s a sad thing for somebody to confront the police."Text message alerts for the active shooter went out to neighbors around 4 p.m. That was lifted about 40 minutes later, though a good stretch of Lakehurst Road remained closed well into the night.
