WEST PALM BEACH FL Aug 24 2020 — Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies and a business district security officer responded after two teens were shot.
Three other teenage boys are facing charges in that shooting that wounded two people Monday evening in suburban West Palm Beach.
Deputies and security officer Jennifer Ryan rendered aid as Fire/EMS responded.
The teens, ages 14, 15 and 17, were taken into custody after deputies responded to a shooting call shortly after 6 p.m. Monday near the Applebee’s restaurant at the southwest corner of Okeechobee Boulevard and Military Trail.
They face charges of attempted murder and armed robbery. Prosecutors have 21 days to decide whether any of the teens will be tried as an adult. The oldest of the suspects will turn 18 on Friday.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office did not disclose the names either of the suspects or the two shooting victims, one of whom sustained a wound to his face.
