Atlantic City police are investigating two separate shootings that left two men wounded less than 17 hours apart. Lt. Kevin Fair said neither shooting was considered life-threatening.
Police were called to the 200 block of Pacific Avenue at 9:46 p.m. Sunday for a report of a man who had been shot. Officers found a 46-year-old man wounded.
Then, at 2:21 p.m. Monday, a ShotSpotter alert brought police to the 800 block of Virginia Avenue. A witness told BreakingAC that multiple shots were heard and that "it sounded like a shootout." The 27-year-old victim was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus, where he underwent surgery, according to a relative.
Atlantic City police did not release the names of the victims. Anyone with information about the shootings was asked to call the Violent Crimes Unit at 609-347-5766 or text information anonymously to tip411 (847411) beginning the message with ACPD.
A note on the story said it originally ran at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 27 and was later updated to include the earlier shooting and additional details from police.
