GERMANTOWN, Md. — A Clarksburg teen is in police custody following a shooting in Germantown back in March 2024.
Police say the teen, a 16-year-old, arrived in the 19300 block of Archdale Road in a stolen Hyundai when a 15-year-old was exiting a school bus.
He allegedly got out of the car, chased after the 15-year-old, pulled out a gun, and shot at him.
The 15-year-old was not injured, and the suspect fled the scene after the shooting.
On September 6, police arrested the 16-year-old and recovered a loaded handgun that he tossed before the arrest.
Police say the handgun was reported stolen out of Clinton, Maryland.
The teen is charged with attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, use of a firearm in the commission of a violent felony, and theft-related charges.
He was taken to the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit, where he is being charged as an adult.
