Teen, 14, arrested days after Worcester shooting, police say
A 14-year-old was arrested this weekend for allegedly shooting a man in Worcester, Massachusetts, police said.
The teenage boy was arrested Saturday on charges including armed assault to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, Worcester police said Monday.
The shooting took place about 6:20 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 23, police said — officers were alerted by the city’s ShotSpotter system and went to Mt. Vernon Street, and were later told that a wounded 25-year-old man went to a local hospital.
Police haven’t shared more information about the incident, including what condition the gunshot victim was in, and they didn’t name the 14-year-old who is now facing charges — police typically don’t identify youths who will be tried in juvenile court.
