The Press of Atlantic City quotes Capt. Danny Adcock saying police received sevreal reports of gunshots being fired just before 7:30 p.m., but couldn't find any shooting victim at the scene. Shortly after, aman arrived at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus in Atlantic City with a gunshot wound, the report said. The man reportedly told police he'd tried to take cover, but then felt a burning sensation in his left shoulder, and drove himself to the hospital.

Authorities have not released his name. The report says a red motorcycle was seen leaving the area, but authorities do not know if that is related.

It was not clear from the report how old the children practicing Thursday night were.
