Officers responding shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday found one person with a gunshot wound to the shoulder, and he was taken to a hospital and reported in stable condition, authorities said.
Police are searching for the person or persons who fired shots into the crowd. Anyone with information is asked to call investigators.
Last year in November, a shooting at a high school football game critically injured a 10-year-old boy and a 27-year-old man during the third quarter of a playoff game between the Camden Panthers and the Pleasantville Greyhounds. A 15-year-old boy suffered a graze wound and was treated at the hospital and released.
Six people, including one of the victims, were charged in connection with the shooting.
