A man and a 15-year-old boy have been arrested in connection with a shooting that injured nine children, including a 5-year-old, outside a gas station in Columbus, Georgia.
Columbus police said they arrested D’Angelo Robinson Sr., 35, and the teenager, who was not identified because of his age, following their investigation into the Feb. 17 shooting at a Shell gas station.
Robinson faces eight counts of aggravated assault and was booked into the Muskogee County Jail, Columbus police said in a statement.
The teenager has been charged with one count of aggravated assault and was booked into the Regional Youth Detention Center.
The bullets started flying after a fight from a nearby party spilled into the gas station, Columbus Police Chief Freddy Blackmon said after the shooting.
The 5-year-old was shot at the gas station with a family member, Blackmon said, adding that the others shot were a 12-year-old boy, two 13-year-old girls, a 13-year-old boy, a 14-year-old boy, two 15-year-old boys and a 17-year-old boy.
All of the victims were treated for non-life threatening injuries and four were released from the hospital shortly after the shooting.
