CAMDEN COUNTY, N.J. -
More than a thousand guns are now off the streets of Camden County after a countywide two-day gun buyback program.
Organizers call the gun buyback program record breaking.
The gun buyback program offered residents the opportunity to turn over guns and receive up to $250 in return without any questions asked.
The two-day program was carried out through several local law enforcement agencies, including Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa's office, and faith-based community stakeholders.

Not the prettiest Friday, but we're ready for a great weekend. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. After an early high in the upper sixties, temperatures fall & winds pick up out of the chillier northwest. Right now the Memorial Day Weekend looks sunny and cool with highs in the low to mid 60s on Saturday, in the 70s Sunday & Monday. Cooler temps at the shore.
