Two suspects were arrested Tuesday in connection with the incident, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said. Their names have not been released. The two men are each charged with:
- Attempted murder
- Menacing
- Illegal discharge of a firearm
- Criminal mischief
- Prohibited use of a weapon
- Reckless endangerment
At the time of the shooting, one person reported to 911 dispatchers that they heard five shots being fired, then heard a vehicle speed off, with five additional shots being fired from inside the car. Bullets hit at least three homes, according to the sheriff's office.
A resident who lives on South Flanders Street said his home was struck by a bullet that went through the living room window. The bullet passed through another wall, through a box of toys, and through the armrest of a chair where a 7-year-old boy was playing on his computer.
The boy was leaning forward in the chair to play a video game, which resulted in the bullet missing him by a few inches, the sheriff's office said.
Deputies located multiple shell casings in the area. No one was injured.
