At around 9:30 a.m. officers and medics were dispatched the store on Wellwood Avenue for a report of a shooting victim.
Investigators say the 23-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the leg while in a truck.
Officers on the scene say the man told them he was shot in Philadelphia but drove himself to New Jersey. However, investigators say it\’s not clear where he was shot.
The issue had been sparked by the state’s decision in November not to renew the go-go bar’s liquor license.
(Note: If you recall the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) revoked the owner’s license following a horrific traffic accident involving a patron of Cheerleaders, Humberto Herrera-Salas. The owners appealed the ABC’s decision. In November 2008 the appellate court agreed that the bar served alcohol to Herrera-Salas, even though he was intoxicated.

Our Daisies got to experience what it was like to be a teller, work the drive-thru lane and to visit the vault. We got a chance to cash in our change and guess how much money we thought we had.
We wanted to take a minute and thank the staff at the bank for their warm welcome. An extra big thank you to Mr. Mike! You truly are a wonderful place to visit!
Thank You!

CHEER-To neighbors helping neighbors during the recent snow storms.
JEER-The new Mayor of the impoverished Camden City, Dana Redd wants to double the top salaries for her three aides to $150,000 from $71,000. In the midst of one of the worst recessions in decades; this is insane. Camden has become a patronage pit for corruption and the results are disastrous. Camden is the poster child for inefficiency despite all the monies wasted by the state.
JEER-Because of a $2.6 billion budget deficit New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has cut financial aid to schools and municipalities. Yet at the same time he is asking everyone to make sacrifices, he has created the position of director of new media to promote his official Twitter account and handle blogger outreach. The salary for this job, which an intern would have done for nothing, is $60,000. Only in New Jersey!
JEER –The management of New St. Mary’s Cemetery in Bellmawr cleared their own drives and public areas within their gates of snow, but made no attempt to clear the sidewalks outside of their gates, along Browning Road. The sidewalk along their property is the main route for Bellmawr children to commute from Bell Oaks School to the west side of town. Cones were placed in the street along Browning Road (presumably by the Borough) in order for the students to have a place to walk.
Finally on February 15, the sidewalks were cleared apparently by the Borough. As with all construction \”babysitters,\” a patrol car was there to slow traffic. A Borough employee was flagman. With tongue in cheek, I have to question if New St. Mary’s was trying to \”drum up business\” at our children’s expense. Shame on you…. ~C.I. Dolson, Bellmawr
JEER-To the City of Gloucester\’s habit of keeping citizens\’ money in escrow for months when even the regulated 90 days is too long. And the city keeps the interest earned.
A BIG JEER to the idiot that shot Valentine with a dart. How on earth could someone do this to an innocent creature? Valentine was shot at close range. Someone intentionally fired a 5-in. pronged dart through her left eye — and shockingly, the 2-year-old cat survived. Valentine is being cared for by Joa’s Arc.
The NJ School of Conservation in Sussex County will be the host site for an exciting Coldwater Conservation School being offered this year by the NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife and the NJ State Council of Trout Unlimited and its supporting chapters. The School will be held from June 24 – 27 and is open to youths who will be between the ages of 11 and 15 at the time of the program.
The goal of the School is to foster a knowledge and appreciation of trout and the coldwater habitats on which they depend. Trout are a front line indicator of the health of our streams and environment. Understanding all of the elements necessary for healthy streams and good trout habitat helps students realize the importance of stream and water quality protection, and roles they can play in stream conservation.
