CAMDEN — A detective with the Camden County Prosecutor's Office wounded himself Friday morning, when he reportedly shot himself in the leg while inside the bathroom at his office.

Prosecutor's office spokesman Jason Laughlin confirmed the accidental shooting on Monday. However, he said he could not confirm a Philadelphia Inquirer report stating the detective was seated or about to sit when the gun fired. In addition, Laughlin said he did not know whether the gun was in or out of the detective's holster.

According to the spokesman, the detective, who is expected to make a full recovery, is a 12-year veteran with the prosecutor's office, and a member of the narcotics unit.

Laughlin declined to disclose the detective's name, stating he has not been charged with any crime.

"There's no offense here," he said.

While the prosecutor's office is currently calling the incident an "accident," Laughlin said officials are still review what caused the discharge.

The detective had been working out of the prosecutor's offices inside the L-3 Communications building, near the waterfront. According to Laughlin, the prosecutor's office contracts with the property owner to maintain a space there.

The shooting is currently under review by the prosecutor's office. According to Laughlin, any future action taken by the office would be informed by that review.
