Teenagers Open Fire on Police per Lawyer

In Criminal by Greensboro Attorney

Greensboro Lawyer

The short version

As time goes by things seem to get a little crazier. A 12 and 14-year-old were running from law enforcement when they broke into a house. Multiple sheriff deputies converged on them when the juveniles opened fire according to a Greensboro lawyer.

Our Greensboro attorney was advised that they fired shots from multiple places throughout the home and outside of the home at deputies for over 45 minutes. Law enforcement spent that time attempting to de-escalate the situation but did so to no avail.

Our top rated lawyer in Greensboro said law enforcement did their very best not to kill the juveniles however, the shots that were being fired very well may have seriously injured or even claimed one of their lives.

No deputies were injured in the incident according to a personal injury attorney in Greensboro. Apparently, inside of the home was a shotgun, an AK-47 and a ton of ammunition. The owner of the home informed our Greensboro criminal lawyer that they had 200 plus rounds of ammunition. During the shootout, one of the juveniles was shot and injured.

She is said to be in stable condition.

The juveniles had involved in a number of minor incidents prior to this situation.

One time accused of stealing puppies, another time accused of setting fire to a number vacant lots. Both were living together at a local juvenile home before this incident. Our top rated lawyer in Greensboro will continue to keep you updated as to the status of this case.
