Teen charged in connection with Lancaster Walmart stays behind bars

A 15-year-old charged in connection with a shooting inside a Lancaster County Walmart will stay behind bars. The teen is one of half a dozen people who are facing charges in the case.
In court, police said the incident was a spontaneous act, meaning they do not believe the six teens involved went into the Walmart to cause trouble. However, they did state that all parties involved are affiliated with a gang. Our television news partners at channel 9 reported that according to police, the 15-year-old who was in court on Wednesday was at the store with his sister and girlfriend to buy fishing tools. On the stand, a Lancaster Police Captain, Nelson Bowling, explained how events that were captured on surveillance footage unfolded. He said the group of teens approached each other from opposite directions on an aisle in the automotive section. Bowling went on to explain that the 15-year-old spoke with detectives the night of the shooting and admitted his involvement. The judge then ordered an evaluation for the 15-year-old to potentially be charged as an adult. He is facing multiple charges, including two counts of attempted murder.
