The victim was treated at St. Joseph’s University Medical Center after being wounded near the Halpine Street entrance to School #12 on Oct. 25.

A lengthy investigation led to delinquency complaints signed this past week against both youngsters, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Department Officer-In-Charge Isa Abbassi said in a joint announcement.

The complaints allege what would be the adult equivalent of attempted murder and weapons offenses.

They will be heard by a judge behind closed doors in the Family Part of Superior Court in Paterson because of the boys’ ages.
