'It Sounded Like Gunshots...'

Haddonfield Police rushed to the area of near Windsor Avenue Thursday night after several reports of "gunfire."

Lt. Ted Stussey said officers responded to a call of what residents said sounded like gunfire shortly before 11:30 p.m., but it was not immediately clear what caused the loud bangs.

"No one could determine what the sound was," he said. "Officers were dispatched around the area but we were not able to determine what caused the noise. They weren't necessarily gunshots. No one could determine that. It could be anything from fireworks to a car backfiring."

But a resident on Windsor Avenue who called the police said he thinks it was gunfire.

"It was an isolated sound like gunshots," a Windsor Avenue resident said Friday. "There was one shot and then a minute or two later there were three or four more. It sounded like 'pop...pop, pop, pop.' Fireworks sound different."

The resident said he listened to events unfold on a police scanner. He said he heard a responding officer tell a dispatcher, 'Yeah, we heard it, too.'"
