Shooting in assisted living facility parking lot near Dover leaves at least 1 injured
Flatbed used to steal guns found across the road from crime scene
New Castle County investigators have found the flatbed truck used to break into a gun shop early Monday and steal multiple firearms.
Delaware State Police have confirmed that at least one person was shot near Dover on Tuesday night.
Photographs of the scene taken by John Needles Jr., who was visiting his mother on the fourth floor of the Harmony at Kent assisted living facility, show two people on their backs with presumed gunshot wounds in the facility’s parking lot.
Needles said he ran to the window when he heard the sound of gunshots and saw one man standing over another with a gun. He said he then watched as police arrived and began to speak to the man, who was also with an elderly woman using a walker.
The man still had a gun, Needles said, and when he stepped far enough away from the woman, at least one officer shot him.
A state police spokesperson could not confirm or deny whether an officer was involved in the shooting.
Needles captured photos of state troopers swarming the scene with guns raised and removing a person with a walker from the scene. They can then be seen performing chest compressions on the injured people as a Camden Wyoming Fire Company ambulance arrives.
Needles said he believes the two men were arguing in the assisted living facility’s lobby and then took the fight outside.
Troopers initially sent out an alert on X at 6:23 p.m. advising drivers to avoid the 1400 block of Route 10—where Harmony at Kent is located—for an “ongoing investigation.” There is no threat to public safety related to the shooting, according to police.
State police said updates would be posted when available. The department last posted at 8:21 p.m. on X that there was no new information.

The U.S. Coast Guard and multiple partner agencies are responding to a barge fire in Delaware Bay on Tuesday after a tug reported that the vessel it was towing had caught fire.
According to the Coast Guard, watchstanders at Sector Delaware Bay received a call at approximately 8:20 a.m. from the tug Douglas J, reporting that the barge under tow was on fire. The barge was reportedly carrying scrap metal.
Authorities are towing the burning barge to a position about two miles off Maurice River Cove, New Jersey, in an effort to move the incident away from the main shipping channel while firefighting operations continue.
The Coast Guard has established a safety zone and issued a Broadcast Notice to Mariners as crews work to contain the fire and reduce potential hazards to vessel traffic in the busy port complex. Multiple fire departments have deployed fireboats to assist with suppression efforts.
No injuries have been reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Responders from Coast Guard Station Philadelphia, Coast Guard Station Cape May, and Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City have been deployed to assist. Partner agencies on scene include the Wilmington Fire Department, Delaware City Fire Department, Philadelphia Fire Department, New Jersey Office of Emergency Management, and Delaware Emergency Management.
The incident follows another major barge fire in the Delaware Bay region in 2022, when a barge carrying scrap household appliances burned for approximately 26 hours in what officials described as the largest firefighting operation in Delaware state history.
Response operations for the current fire remain ongoing.
