Residents are talking on Twitter about being on lockdown and watching police and SWAT sweep the complex. Gloucester Township police were not immediately available to comment.

"A policeman came to my door and asked me if I heard anything. I confirmed that I had heard three shots, but didn't know they were shots at the time," a resident, who asked to remain anonymous, told Gloucester Township Patch. "When I asked if someone was shot he said yes."

The resident says the complex's back parking lot is taped off and investigators are still on the scene, talking to possible witnesses.
