Authorities: Officers Fatally Shoot Armed Man in Camden

Several troopers and officers responded to the home early Saturday morning.

New Jersey authorities say state police and Camden police fatally shot an armed man outside a city home early Saturday.

    
Several troopers and officers responded to the home around 1:30 a.m., after a resident there reported that a man outside the home was waving a handgun around.
    
A short time later, officials say multiple shots were fired by multiple officers and troopers. The man -- whose identity has not been released -- was pronounced dead at the scene, and the gun was recovered.
    
The state Attorney General's office is heading the investigation, which is standard procedure when a state trooper is involved in a shooting.
