Carrollton Police arrested a 16-year-old at RL Turner High School on January 21 after he was accused of shooting at a car with a mother and her three children inside.  

According to Carrollton PD, the shooting incident occurred on January 10 in the 1900 block of Perry Road. The woman had her 11-year-old and 2-year-old boys in the car’s backseat while her 17-year old son was in the front seat.

Carrollton Police said the woman’s 17-year-old son is suspected to have been the intended victim.   

According to FOX 4 News, the Carrollton Police Department said no one was hurt in the shooting incident, but the car suffered damages.   

The department revealed they planned to arrest the 16-year-old suspect at the high school after detectives identified him as the shooter. However, officers learned upon their arrival that a campus administrator had already detained him for having two guns on campus. 

The suspect now faces four counts of alleged aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for the shooting, possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone, and unlawful carrying of a weapon on school grounds.
