SELMA – Selma Police have announced the arrests of two juveniles in connection to a weekend drive-by shooting.
Police Sgt. Justin Vause said the juveniles were arrested Jan. 7 and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious bodily injury, discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling, and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.
On January 4, the juveniles reportedly opened fire towards a home in the 1100 block of W. Waddell Street striking a 16 year-old male victim.
The victim was rushed to WakeMed with serious but non-life threatening injuries. We’ve learned the victim is now out of the hospital but will require additional medical treatment.
The two suspects, both under age 18, are being held in a juvenile detention center.
Sgt. Vause said the shooting was the result of an ongoing feud between two groups of people.
