Detectives were still combing through the crime scene Sunday morning after the sun came up over the boardwalk, where police tape and evidence markers still covered the area.
Saturday's shooting marked the second time late-night gunfire injured a large group of people this summer. Last month, five people were injured in a shooting at the boardwalk.
