Police announced Friday that two juveniles faced weapons-related arrest and resisting arrest charges in connection with the shooting. They were not identified because they were minors and were placed in a juvenile prison.
Graves announced that the motive for the shooting is not believed to be related to terrorism, but “an argument between several people that ended in a shooting.”
He added during a press conference on Thursday: “I’m angry about what happened in our city yesterday, but I’m also grateful for the reaction [from officers].”
