GLASSBORO — One man is recovering from a bullet to the foot after tensions at a party escalated to a shooting near Rowan University.

The party along the 300 block of North Main Street went into the early hours of Sunday morning, Glassboro police said.

Then around 1:45 a.m., Glassboro cops in the area were called over to a shooting.

The officers found a man who had been shot in the foot. He was taken to a nearby hospital.

People at the party told police that they were trying to make a person leave, which led to a fight outside.

During the fight, an unidentified man shot at least once. A bullet struck the victim in his foot. It's not clear if the victim is the same person who was asked to leave the party.

The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office is leading the investigation. More information is expected to be released.
