VINELAND — Authorities in Cumberland County are investigating the death of a retired police officer after a shooting at an area hospital over the weekend. Michael S. Romanik Jr., 57, died by suicide using a firearm at Inspira Medical Center in Vineland on Saturday, the Cherry Hill Courier Post reported. There were concerns of an active shooter in the building when the gunshot rang out around 8:40 a.m., but Vineland police later said it was an "isolated incident." Romanik, a retired police officer in the neighboring city of Millville, had been a patient at the hospital for a few days before he shot himself in the head.
