  • Crime-Courts

Two men were wounded in separate Atlantic City shootings within less than three hours Saturday night.

The first shooting happened during a block party in Stanley Holmes Village, sending several people running, according to witnesses.

Police were called to the 600 block of Howard Avenue for a ShotSpotter alert, Capt. Kevin Fair said.

Responding officers found evidence of gunfire but no victim.

"There was a lot of blood," a witness told BreakingAC.

A short time later, a man suffering from gunshot wounds arrived at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus in a personal vehicle, Fair said.

The 35-year-old city resident sustained injuries that were not considered life-threatening. No further information was available, Fair said.

A second man was shot at 11:13 p.m. in the 100 block of South Michigan Avenue

The 36-year-old Deptford man was taken to the hospital with an injury not considered life-threatening.

An Atlantic City resident posted on Facebook that his car was stopped and his 15-year-old daughter handcuffed apparently as police searched for suspects.
