A 19-year-old Southbridge man is facing charges after a shooting Saturday evening on Dennison Drive left two juveniles injured, police said.
David A. Adorno, of 584 Dennison Drive, was arrested Saturday evening, police wrote in a news release, after two people were shot on the street where he lives.
Police said they received a report of the shooting around 5:45 p.m. and found multiple shell casings in the driveway of a home on Dennison Drive; they did not provide the address.
While police were at the home, headquarters received a report of two victims being treated for gunshot wounds in the emergency room at UMass Memorial Health – Harrington Hospital.
The victims were two “juveniles” who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said, and were eventually taken to a hospital in Worcester as a precaution.
Adorno was arrested “shortly after this incident was reported to law enforcement” following an investigation by Southbridge detectives “along with the assistance of Massachusetts State Police Crime Scene Services troopers, crime lab personnel and a ballistic K9,” police wrote.
Police did not say where Adorno was arrested. He faces two charges of armed assault to murder with a firearm, possession of a firearm without a license to carry, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, intentional or negligent firing into a dwelling, and unlawful possession of ammunition , they said.
He is being held on a $50,000 bond pending his arraignment in Dudley District Court on Monday morning.
“This investigation is ongoing by our Criminal Investigation Division and other criminal charges may be filed against the juveniles involved,” police wrote.
Police said they would not release any further information about the youths as they are minors.
