Police have charged two juveniles in a shooting that wounded two teens near the route of the Kentucky Derby Festival's Pegasus Parade.
Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said Friday that both 15-year-old boys are facing two counts each of assault, tampering with evidence, possession of a handgun by a minor and receiving stolen property. She said the teens wounded in the Thursday shooting are expected to recover.
Police have said the victims are a 17-year-old boy believed to be known by the teens who were apprehended and a 14-year-old girl.
The shooting occurred shortly after 6:30 p.m. Thursday along a main intersection in downtown Louisville that's along the parade route. The parade began at 5 p.m. and people were standing and sitting about two deep along the route.
