Three out-of-state residents were arrested after shots were fired from an Atlantic City balcony on Sunday night.
Police were called to the Club Wyndham Skyline Tower in the beach block of North Carolina Avenue at about 10:20 p.m., Capt. Kevin Fair said.
An investigation led to a room on the 21st floor, where two men and a woman were found, according to the report.

All three were charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a weapon, three counts of a high-capacity magazine, and single counts of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and possession of hollow-point ammunition.
