Two young males, one aged 15 and the other 13, are now facing serious charges in the wake of a shooting in Wheaton-Glenmont earlier this week, as the Montgomery County Police Department states. The incident unfolded on a seemingly ordinary Tuesday afternoon when law enforcement officers hurried to the scene of gunfire reported at the 2300 block of Glenmont Circle.
Investigations immediately kicked into gear, revealing a prior altercation between the suspects and several other juveniles, an exchange marked by the brandishing of a handgun, and a subsequent chase as the victims fled, all this chaos unfolded around 3:36 p.m., according to police details. In a twist of events, a vehicle with two occupants found itself in the path of danger as the older suspect fired shots, both occupants were fortunate to emerge unharmed.
Quickly after the incident, both suspects were identified, sought out, and ultimately apprehended; police also secured shell casings from the location which could serve as silent attestments to the violent breach of peace. The duo are now under the watchful eye of the Department of Juvenile Services.
