Two juveniles have been arrested in connection with this case and are being held at a juvenile detention facility. One juvenile faces charges of 1^st and 2^nd Degree Assault, Tampering with Evidence, and Possession of a Handgun by a Juvenile, while the second juvenile arrested faces the single charge of Possession of a Handgun by a Juvenile.

The victim is expected to make a full recovery.
