A Camden County man has been charged with attempted murder and related offenses after he allegedly fired at police, sending a bullet through a neighbor’s home where a child was sleeping, authorities said.

Very early Saturday, Bellmawr police responded to the 100 block of Catherine Avenue for a report of a man pointing a gun at two other people, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office said.

That’s when three responding officers saw a man later identified as Logan Vancamp, 31, pointing a handgun at them, the Prosecutor’s Office said. Vancamp, who has an address on that block, fired a shot before dropping his weapon and getting on the ground, authorities said.

The bullet traveled through the bedroom of the neighboring home before coming to rest in a bathtub, the Prosecutor’s Office said. No one was injured.

Vancamp was taken to the Camden County Jail awaiting a pretrial detention hearing. He also was charged with aggravated assault, gun offenses, and criminal mischief. It was not known whether he had an attorney.
