Two Atlantic City teens were arrested after a ShotSpotter alert led to the recovery of a gun and ammunition, police said.
The audio gunshot-detection system alerted police to shots fired just after 3 p.m. Monday in the 700 block of Maryland Avenue, Lt. Kevin Fair said Wednesday.
Two suspects were seen running into a residence on the 800 block, where police surrounded the residence and called for those inside to come out, according to the report.
Saalih Davis, 19, came out a short time later, Fair said.
As officers were taking him into custody, a 15-year-old girl ran out of the door, and ran from police, trying to hide in a dumpster, Fair said.
She was taken into custody, and police allegedly found a loaded handgun inside the dumpster.
Davis was in possession of ammunition, Fair said.
The girl was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and obstruction of justice. She is being held at the Harborfields Juvenile Detention Center.
Davis was charged with failure to possess a firearms identification card. He was taken to the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
