Two weeks ago, a 16-year-old was arrested in the same incident where police said 3,000 teens gathered and two adult bystanders were injured in a shooting at the Brier Creek shopping center.
The arrest on Friday of the 15-year-old happened in Durham County, a Raleigh Police Department news release said.
Officers said the 15-year-old was involved in an incident initially reported as a fight just after 10:25 p.m. Saturday, July 4, at the Brier Creek Commons shopping center, according to a Raleigh Police Department news release.
After many teens were removed from a store, a large fight erupted outside, police said.
Gunshots were fired during that fight and disturbance, according to officers.
“During the chaos, two innocent bystanders, both adults, were injured,” police said. One bystander was hit by gunfire while the other was injured by flying glass when a bullet shattered a window, police said.
