A boy has been charged with shooting two teens in the upper floors of the Taj Mahal casino's hotel tower in Atlantic City late Thursday, police said.
The shooting happened just after 11 p.m. on the 47th floor of the hotel at 1000 Virginia Avenue, police said.
Officers were called to the floor after other guests reported hearing gunfire. When police arrived, they didn't find any victims or the shooter.
As officers investigated, two 16-year-old boys showed up at the emergency room at nearby AtlantiCare Trauma Center with gunshot wounds, police said. Their injuries were not life-threatening.
The 17-year-old suspect was arrested outside the casino along Virginia Avenue, police said. He was later charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and related offenses.
Detectives are still investigating and a motive for the shooting is not yet known.
