“With recent things going on in our country and around the world, people are kind of a little bit more alerted. It’s everyone’s responsibility to watch out for each other. We all live in this community, and we’re going to notice things that seem out of place and if we don’t notify the proper authorities, who will?” Officer Corporal Scott Hines explained to ABC 17 News.
Hines was likely referring to the mass shooting at a San Bernardino building that left 14 people dead a few weeks ago and the Paris terrorist attacks that left at least 130 dead last month.
Hines said that it’s typical for police to get these kinds of reports after a mass shooting.
“We prefer to get a few calls than not be called and God forbid something does happen. If you do see or hear something that seems odd, call and let us know,” he told Lake News Online.
The Camden County Sheriff’s Office said it isn’t conducting an investigation, reported Lake News.
