Two teens were wounded in separate Atlantic City shootings within 48 hours, police said.
A ShotSpotter alert brought officers to the 500 block of New York Avenue at 11:06 p.m. Saturday, Lt. Kevin Fair said.
There, police found the unnamed teen wounded.
He was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus for treatment.
Then, just after 10 p.m. Monday, officers responded to another ShotSpotter alert in the 500 block of Indiana Avenue.
When officers got there, they were told the victim, another 17-year-old, was inside a residence in the 1500 block of Caspian Place, Fair said.
The teen was then taken to AtlantiCare's City Campus for treatment.
Both investigations are being led by the Violent Crimes Unit. 
Anyone with information is asked to call the Violent Crimes Unit at 609-347-5766. Information may also be texted anonymously to tip411 (847411), beginning the text with ACPD.
