At approximately 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31, police said that the suspect teen - whose name has not been released - was engaged in an incident with two others in the 1000 block of 45th Street.
During that dispute, it is alleged that the 15-year-old shooting suspect discharged a handgun and struck two juvenile victims before fleeing the area, police said.
Both minors were transported to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries and the investigation by MPD led police to identify the teen as a shooting suspect.
The teen was apprehended in Northeast DC and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, according to the department.
