Officers detained several people the same day, and authorities made arrests the following morning; both teens face attempted second-degree murder charges and are expected to be prosecuted as adults. No injuries were reported, though at least one bullet struck an SUV involved in the incident. All individuals accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
