Juvenile Arrested After Accidental Shooting in Atlantic City
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – The Atlantic City Police Department has arrested a juvenile who accidentally shot himself on June 16.
At 7:09 p.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting at Chelsea Avenue and the Boardwalk. They found a 16-year-old male with a gunshot wound, who was then transported to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center with a non-life-threatening injury.
