The shooting happened at about 1 a.m. at Michigan Avenue and The Boardwalk near Bally’s Casino. According to investigators, the incident began as a fight between approximately 15 people. Police say nearly 100 people were near the brawl. As officers were attempting to break up the crowd, a suspect pulled out a gun and opened fire. A 17-year-old male from Vineland and a 22-year-old male from Bridgeton were wounded in the shooting. The 17-year-old was shot in the left leg and the second victim was shot in the upper chest. The 17-year-old victim was treated at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center and later released. The 22-year-old was also taken to AtlantiCare and was still being examined early Tuesday morning. His injuries are not considered life-threatening. Police say the suspect fled the scene after the shooting. A gun believed to have been used in the shooting was located at the Bally’s bus terminal. |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5715 | What has this to do with the "Special Tourism District"? This sounds like a typical fight outside of any bar or club that escalated to the point where there was a shooting. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

Everything. That was what Christie supposed to do to supplant Mayor Langford and send in the state troopers. The city is basically out of control, thanks to its own inherent problems (Illinois Ave. for example) and now seems to be suffering from the a strong dose of the same uncontrollable rioting and crime that has been going on in Philadelphia and its suburbs for the last three months. This isn't even like the shooting inside the Bally's restroom off the casino floor a couple of months ago. This is when Park Place goes, you can throw out your Monopoly board. |

That is a total farce. Instead of relocating them, the authorities feed them and spay them. Sort of just as they do with the homeless living under the Boardwalk. |
