INDICTMENT HANDED DOWN IN CHILD MURDER

An Atlantic City woman was indicted for the attempted murder of her child last October. Patricia A. Shurig, 24, of the 100 block of Atlantic City was indicted for attempted murder, and aggravated assault, for jumping into the ocean from an Atlantic City jetty while holding her one-month infant, in October 2014. The child and mother were rescued from the water by bystanders—assisted by Coast Guard personnel who had arrived by boat, then transported to the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center—City Campus Trauma Unit, where they were admitted for treatment.
