Recently released court documents in the case of a teen girl charged with shooting and killing Andrew Lenahan, 18, in October in Union Township provide additional details about what reportedly happened that night, a gathering of young people that included alcohol and firearms.
The Post-Tribune is not naming the girl, 17, even though her case has been waived to adult court because she is a juvenile. She has been charged with reckless homicide, a Level 5 felony.Porter County Juvenile Magistrate Kristen Mulligan filed the waiver to adult court on March 13. The girl’s initial hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. May 16 before Porter Circuit Court Judge Mary DeBoer.
The homeowner told police that the group went into a pole barn with a gathering area and a bar. Three of the people at the party, including Lenahan, “all took out their Glock firearms and dismantled them. They were showing each other the firearms and swapping slides back and forth,” documents state. “ stepped in front of Andrew and pointed the firearm at his head and pulled the trigger. The gun fired and struck Andrew who immediately fell to the ground,” documents state.
They also located a Glock 45 in the pole barn and a fired Winchester 9 mm Lugar cartridge case. Police located two additional Glocks inside the residence, including a tan one. There is probable cause to believe the girl committed the offense, Mulligan said in the document filed last month waiving the girl to adult court.
