A 76-year-old New Jersey man is in critical condition after state police responded to a 911 call to the wrong house — and shot him as he stood in his own living room, authorities said.
Emergency dispatchers received a 911 call about 11:30pm Friday from a location in Cumberland County, but the caller hung up without giving a location.
The call appeared to have come from a house on Centerton Road and two uniformed state troopers responded. At the time, they didn't realize the call hadn't come from that address.

Terrible. Why shoot the man?
Prayers for the poor gentleman.
Pocomoke City Police did this several years ago. They wanted to raid the house of a man for drug charges but raided his cousin's house instead. Nobody was shot but they scared the bejeebers out of an innocent family.

He will be a millionaire.
