The teen was also charged with offensive touching, police said.
In announcing the arrest, Police also laid out a clearer picture of how the shooting led to the mall’s evacuation and early closure on April 8. According to investigators, the April 8 altercation began as an 18-year-old man exited the mall’s food court and he was confronted and subsequently assaulted by three other males. Authorities say two additional people joined the melee, after seeing their friend in trouble. But the fistfight escalated when one of the initial suspects pulled a gun from his waistband and “began firing multiple rounds,” according to state police.
State police said the 17-year-old suspect was arraigned in New Castle Family Court. He has been committed to a Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services facility on a $15,000 secured bail. Delaware State Police said they have yet to identify the two remaining suspects and are seeking the public’s help should they have any leads.
