He said the two are facing multiple charges, including the possession of an unauthorized loaded firearm and the discharge of a restricted firearm.“Fortunately, no one was inside and there were no injuries,” said Johnson. A school window was shattered, he said. “This is the second incident at the school and it occurred on Yom Kippur, a sacred day for the Jewish community, making this even more devastating,” he told reporters.
“Their meticulous examination of the evidence was key in identifying and charging the two individuals,” he said.
