MILLVILLE – A man was shot in his foot in the early morning hours on Thursday but was uncooperative when asked what had happened.

An officer was dispatched to Delsea Gardens around 3 a.m. for a report of "...people shooting and making noise." When he arrived there were some vehicles leaving the complex. There were a few people walking around but nobody was making any noise. The officer did not find any evidence of a shooting.

A half hour later, he was informed that there was a shooting victim at South Jersey Healthcare-Regional Medical Center. Vineland police had also stopped the vehicle that dropped the man off.

The victim did not want to talk to either Vineland or Millville police. He said he was never at Delsea Gardens and that he might have been shot on Main Road somewhere and then walked to the hospital.

It appeared as if the bullet had entered the man's pants and exited his sneaker, and the wound he received was on the upper part of his left foot.

The officer collected the pants and sneakers. Police did not name any suspects Friday.
