Two Teens Charged For Shots Fired At Mall

ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. — (WPXI) – Two teenagers involved in a fight that ended in gunshots inside Ross Park Mall on Saturday are now facing gun charges. According to our partners at Channel 11, the two 17-year-old boys are being charged with illegal possession of a firearm by a person under the age of 21, along with other crimes. However, the teens are not charged with firing the guns because none of the witnesses interviewed said they saw the guns being fired. The fight broke out on the second floor of the mall around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday near Guest Services. Ross Police Department Det. Brian Kohlhepp said the fight involved as many as six people. At some point during the scuffle, guns were pulled out and several shots were fired. Three guns were recovered during the investigation. The mall was put on lockdown, shoppers went running for the exits, and employees shuffled others into back rooms and closets to stay safe. Luckily, there were no injuries.
