Two juveniles have been arrested following an incident where a 17-year-old was grazed by a bullet at a home on Edwards Street.

Authorities responded to a 911 call reporting a gunshot wound just after 1 p.m. on Monday, April 21. According to initial investigations, three local juvenile males, aged 15 and two 17-year-olds, were found in possession of two handguns, one of which was reported stolen earlier in the year.

During the handling of the firearms, the 15-year-old discharged a round that grazed the head of one of the 17-year-olds. Fortunately, the injury was not life-threatening, and the victim was treated and released from Franciscan Hospital.

A search warrant was executed at the residence, leading to the recovery of both 9mm handguns. The 15-year-old faces charges including Criminal Recklessness, Pointing a Firearm, Unlawful Carrying of a Firearm, and Dangerous Possession of a Firearm by a Juvenile. The other 17-year-old was charged with Unlawful Carrying of a Firearm and Dangerous Possession of a Firearm by a Juvenile.

Further arrests and charges are pending as the investigation continues.
