Upon arrival, police made contact with two victims who sustained not life-threatening gunshot wounds, Per said.

Both victims were transported for treatment to the Atlantic City Medical Center, City Division, Per said.

This is an active criminal investigation, Per said.

The police are limiting the information being released to protect the integrity of the investigation, he said.

Anyone that has any information about this case can also submit “tips” anonymously through crimestoppersatlantic.com or 1-800-658-TIPS (8477) and receive a cash reward if the tip leads to the arrest and indictment of the person or persons involved in this crime, Per said.
