CAMDEN, N.J. (WPVI) -- Two people are in custody after a fatal shooting and police standoff in Camden, New Jersey.

The shooting happened around 10 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of a Gulf gas station at 1033 Kaighn Avenue.

One victim was shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at the hospital. The other man suffered a graze wound to the head and is listed in serious condition.

A search for suspects led police to a nearby home, also in the 1000 block of Kaighn Avenue.

Police, including the SWAT team, surrounded the home. That resulted in an hours-long standoff that ended around dawn Sunday.

A nearby fire station was on lockdown during the standoff.
