Two additional teens have been arrested in connection with a shooting on May 13. The shooting resulted in one person being hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Marion Police Department arrested two 15-year-olds on May 14 after a shooting occurred on Oak Street. The day of the incident, police had arrested another 15-year-old, bringing the total to three arrests, according to a press release from MPD.
The incident began on May 13 when MPD responded to a report of multiple shots being fired around Oak and Chestnut Streets. When police arrived, no one involved in the shooting was still in the area.
“The preliminary investigation indicates that the shooting was the result of an ongoing dispute between the involved persons,” the release states.
One person was reported to be at Marion General Hospital being treated for a gunshot wound and was later transferred to a Columbus hospital. There were no other injuries reported on May 13.
Investigators have found that more than 20 shots were fired by a group of young people. MPD stated that at least three houses were hit by the gunfire.
MPD continues to investigate the incident.
