Vineland teen, Bridgeton man wounded in shootings on Atlantic City Boardwalk
Two Cumberland County residents were shot following a large fight early Tuesday morning on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, police said.
The fight — which involved 15 people and drew a crowd of about 100 onlookers — happened at about 1 a.m. in the beach block of Michigan Avenue.
K-9 units visited the scene to assist with crowd control. Additional officers were stationed along Arkansas Avenue and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
As officers broke up the fight, shots rang out, police said. The crowd scattered. Officers found two gunshot victims — a 17-year-old Vineland boy, who was hit in the left leg, and a 22-year-old Bridgeton man, who was hit in the upper chest. Both victims were conscious when they were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus in Atlantic City. The teen was treated and released. The man remained in the hospital, listed in stable condition, Atlantic City police Sgt. Monica McMenamin said.
McMenamin said investigators will be interviewing the victim at the hospital to try to gather further information as his condition improves.
Police describe the shooting suspect as a black man wearing a dark-colored V-neck short-sleeved shirt, khaki shorts and dark shoes. The suspect fled on foot northbound on Michigan Avenue.
While checking the area, police found a handgun at the Bally’s Park Place bus terminal.
Bally’s security and surveillance departments are assisting police in the investigation...... more read

Atlantic City Celebrates with Large Crowds over July 4th Holiday Weekend
(Atlantic City, NJ, July 5, 2011) - As the July 4th holiday weekend expands in Atlantic City from Thursday to Monday so do the crowds.
"Atlantic City is really becoming known for our large-scale entertainment and events," said Jeff Vasser, president of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. "Our July 4th Fireworks display was listed among the top in the country by AOL Travel - ranked number two just below New York City - but the real success for us is that visitors are coming to Atlantic City to experience more than just the best casinos around. They are staying longer and making Atlantic City a true vacation destination."
It's no surprise that the two charter boat companies offering special July 4th Firework Cruises: Jessie O' Fishing & Cruising departing from Captain Andy's Marina in Margate and Atlantic City Cruises Cruisin' One departing from Atlantic City's Historic Gardner's Basin both quickly sold out their special holiday cruises. AC Cruises also sold out the daily Dolphin Watching Cruise on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Lucy the Elephant in nearby Margate also had a very strong weekend, according to Executive Director Rich Helfant, with visitor numbers increased by 20 percent over last year for the Friday through Monday holiday weekend.
The Carisbrooke Inn located on Little Rock Avenue in nearby Ventnor had an increase of 26 percent in room nights booked and revenue increased 27 percent for Friday through Monday when compared to last year. ....more reads
