2 Dead, 2 Wounded in Shootout at Mall
A would-be robber and an armored car guard traded gunfire inside a Deptford shopping mall, killing one shopper and injuring another. The gunman also was killed and the guard was in critical condition. Shoppers ran screaming for the exits and took cover inside stores after the bullets sprayed across the second floor of the mall, in an atrium near an entrance to a bank. Caught in the cross-fire were a man who was dead at the scene and a 15-year-old girl who was wounded. She and the Brooks Armored Services guard were reported in critical condition at a hospital in nearby Camden.
