CNN - 2 teenagers were charged with attempted homicide Saturday in Pittsburgh, a day after allegedly opening fire in front of a church where a funeral was taking place, injuring 6 people.
The shooting erupted Friday outside Pittsburgh’s Destiny of Faith Church. 5 people were shot & 1 person was injured while trying to escape from the scene.
Pittsburgh police arrested 19-year-old Shawn Davis & 16-year-old Hezekiah Nixon. Davis & Nixon are being held at the Alleghany County Jail, police said.
Both individuals were also charged with criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault & firearms charges.
Police were alerted to 2 ShotSpotter activations shortly after noon Friday. The first alert indicated 5 rounds shot & the second alert indicated 15 rounds shot, Ford said. Once at the scene, responding officers determined the gunfire was heard outside the church. It’s believed at least some of the people shot were attending the funeral.
Pittsburgh Police Commander Richard Ford said the incident appeared to be “obviously a result of a targeted shooting.”
