A week after ashooting at a Georgia gas station left nine children wounded, police have arrested two individuals in connection to the incident, including a teenage suspect.

According to police in Columbus, Ga., on Friday, D’Angelo Robinson, Sr., 35, and a 15-year-old male — who has not been publicly identified due to his age — were taken into custody on assault charges.

Robinson, Sr. has been charged with eight counts of aggravated assault, while the juvenile suspect, who police say has been identified as a validated gang member, faces a single count of aggravated assault in connection to the Feb. 17 shooting.

Additional charges are pending, police say.

It’s unclear if Robinson or the teen obtained attorneys to comment on their behalf or if they entered a plea to the charges.
