Shooting In Atlantic City Spurs Police Chase Of Stolen Car
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — A police pursuit of a stolen car that authorities say was fleeing the scene of a shooting in Atlantic City ended with a crash and three people under arrest.
The chase started shortly after 12:30 a.m. Sunday as officers responded to North Virginia Avenue after getting an alert through the city's gunshot detection system.
Two adult males were found shot and wounded at the scene. They were being treated at a hospital for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Around this time, two officers responding to the scene saw and tried to stop a vehicle that was fleeing the area. They recognized the car as one that had been reported stolen at gunpoint on Saturday.
The ensuing pursuit continued until a 17-year-old boy driving the car crashed on Brigantine Boulevard.
