ATLANTIC CITY – Police have identified the victim of Sunday morning’s bar shooting and said they don’t believe he was targeted.

Malik Green, 26, of Atlantic City is in critical condition at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, Sgt. Monica McMenamin said. Witnesses reported a dark-skinned black man in a green hooded sweatshirt fired and reloaded a shotgun multiple times at Hudson’s Bar about 7:15 a.m.

Green, the only known victim, was hit in the upper torso. Based on preliminary reports, McMenamin said, he was “an innocent bystander.”

The suspect fled the scene, and Officer James Fitzgerald later found the shotgun nearby.

Anyone with information can call the lead investigator, Det. Ed Riegel, at 609-347-5766.  Information can also be called anonymously into Crimestoppers at 609-652-1234.

    First of all where is your compassion. This person is in critical condition and may be paralyzed. Second of all, Ghostdog making comments like that and u have a picture of a man in a county suit as your pic. What kind of scum are u to say things like that when u don't even know that person. Third, some people work grave shift in the casinos, get off of work and go out to have a few drinks with co-workers. Do u think that they r scum because they are out drinking that time of the morning. How can any of u think that someone getting shot is a laughing matter. Well, ignorance is bliss and I can't judge. But, God will. So hahahahaha to that.
