Rochester police: Teens report altercation that leads to gunshots in the air, 14-year-old faces charges – Post Bulletin

ROCHESTER — Rochester police officers responded to Three Links Park on Oct. 18 after a group of teenagers reported shots being fired into the air during an altercation in the parking lot.

According to a news release from the Rochester Police Department, officers recovered shell casings and a knife at the scene.

The suspects left in a vehicle, the release states, which officers then spotted at a gas station in the 700 block of Broadway Avenue North.

A 14-year-old boy was found in possession of a firearm and was transported to the Anoka County Juvenile Detention Center where he faces several charges, according to the release.

No injuries were reported, RPD spokeswoman Amanda Grayson said.

Two other minors were in the vehicle. One was cited for a separate juvenile offense and released to a parent, and the second juvenile was returned home by law enforcement, Grayson said.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under the byline “staff.” Often, the byline “personnel” is used when rewriting basic informational documents that come from official sources, such as a city press release regarding a road closure, and that require little or no reporting. Sometimes this byline is used when a news story includes many authors or when the news story is formed by aggregating previously reported information from various sources. If outside sources are used, this is noted in the story.
