Fatal Shooting in Camden New Jersey police are searching for at least one gunman after a deadly shooting in Camden, N.J., Saturday night.

A 60-year-old man was killed and three others wounded near a Wawa convenience store. The identity of the man who was killed has not yet been released.

Police say the victims were hit by stray rounds that were fired from about a block away.

Police believe the shooting was over a dispute that involved none of the victims.

One of the victims, who did not want to be identified, spoke about his terrifying ordeal.

"I heard a shot and the next thing I know, I'm shot," said the 22-year-old victim.

He was shot in the hand and the leg. "My hand went numb. I was running and then my leg gave out on me."

He says he knows he is lucky to be alive. " I thought I wasn't going to make it at first because I didn't know what was wrong with me. Then when I got to the hospital, doctors said I'm very lucky."

The other two victims are also expected to fully recover.

Neighbors are shocked at the violence in their neighborhood and say the area is usually very quiet.

Police have made no arrests.
