Henrico Police arrested a juvenile male at Highland Springs High School Nov. 3, and the teen now faces charges related to a shooting that occurred in Eastern Henrico Oct. 17.
Just before noon that day, shots were reportedly fired into an occupied vehicle in the 500 block of East Laburnum Avenue, but the victim did not sustain any injuries.
An investigation led police to the teen suspect, who faces charges of shooting into an occupied vehicle; use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; possession of a firearm on school grounds; possession of a firearm by a minor.
The latter two charges resulted from the teen’s arrest at the school, at which time officers found him with a firearm.
He was transported to the Henrico County Sheriff’s Office, where he remains in custody at the Henrico Juvenile Detention home.
There was no known active threat to anyone at the school, according to police.
