A 17-year-old faces multiple charges after Waynesboro police say they were responsible for a shooting that damaged a gas pump and a passenger vehicle in the city last week.
The identity of the teenager has not been disclosed, which is typical when a suspect is a juvenile. They have been charged with discharging a firearm at a building, shooting at a car, possession of a stolen firearm, reckless handling of a firearm, willfully discharging a firearm in a public place and unlawful possession of a firearm by a person under the age of 18.
Waynesboro police officers were dispatched around 6:11 p.m. Oct. 14 to a reported shooting near the intersection of King Avenue and Ivy Street. While investigating, the juvenile suspect was found walking nearby. Police said a 9 mm handgun also was recovered in the vicinity that was later reported stolen.
The teenager was taken into custody without incident and booked at the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention Center in Verona.
An investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Waynesboro Police Department at (540) 942-6675.
