Two teenage boys have been arrested in connection with a shooting that struck a home Wednesday evening in Dover, Delaware, according to police. Police said they arrested the two teens, ages 17 and 16, on Thursday after reviewing surveillance video that linked them to the shooting in the 200 block of Pebble Valley Drive. Around 6:30 p.m. on July 29, officers responded to Pebble Valley Drive after receiving a report of shots fired. When they arrived, police found a home with apparent gunfire damage. Investigators determined that multiple rounds were fired from an area near a retention pond, striking the home, police said. At the time of the shooting, a 40-year-old man was inside the residence. He was not injured, according to police. Authorities said one round traveled through the front window and through the interior of the home before lodging in a rear wall. Another round was recovered inside the residence as well. Detectives also recovered multiple shell casings near the retention pond. Police said detectives reviewed surveillance video from the Brandywine Court Apartments on Par Haven Drive. According to officials, the video shows the two teenage boys leaving a building in the apartment complex about four minutes before the shooting. Police said they appeared to be concealing objects in their waistbands as they walked toward a nearby trail leading to the retention pond, where shell casings were later recovered. About four minutes later, the teens were seen quickly returning from the trail and re-entering the same building shortly after the shooting, police said. Through the investigation, detectives identified the suspects and arrested them without incident. The teens were charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, reckless endangering, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited under 21, and other offenses. The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Dover Police Department at (302) 736-7111.
