A 17-year-old male from Lower Paxton Township was identified as the individual who fired the gun. He faces charges including possession of stolen property, possession of a firearm without a license, and recklessly endangering another person. He is currently in the custody of Juvenile Probation.
Kleron Watson and Daniel Ebanga, both from Middletown, were also arrested at the scene. They were charged with possession of stolen property and possession of a firearm without a license. Due to the severity of the charges, both Watson and Ebanga were denied bail and are being held at Dauphin County Prison, according to Dauphin County Crime Watch.
