UPDATE: Two wounded in Atlantic City shooting


  • Crime-Courts

Atlantic City police are investigating a shooting that wounded two people in an Atlantic City Saturday night.

The shooting happened in Renaissance Plaza in the 1500 block of Atlantic Avenue just before 9 p.m.

A witness stopped at the light at New York Avenue told BreakingAC that they heard seven shots.

First-responders were seen working on the victim, who police later said Monday is a 19-year-old man from Atlantic City. He suffered serious injuries.

Police cars then left the area and about seven cars were seen on New York Avenue between Arctic and Fairmount avenues. 

Another victim was found in the 100 block of North Tennessee Avenue. 

The 24-year-old Ocean City resident was treated for an injury that was not considered life-threatening.

Anyone with information about this shooting incident is urged to contact the Atlantic City Police Department Violent Crimes Unit at 609-347-5766. Information may also be texted anonymously to tip411 (847411), beginning the text with ACPD.
