The Buzz | Officer critical after shooting near casino garage

A police officer remains in critical condition, but is showing signs of improvement, and a suspect is dead after two officers saw a robbery being committed outside an Atlantic City casino garage and exchanged gunfire.
The shooting happened around 2:30 a.m. Saturday after the officers saw three men trying to rob three others near a parking garage at Caesars casino, said acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Diane Ruberton.
The wounded officer was shot and injured as he exited his vehicle. The second officer returned fire and struck one of the suspects, who was found dead a short distance away.
Police arrested two men Saturday night in connection with the shooting.
