Boyfriend of Teen Shot in the Face Arrested
posted 1:06 pm Tue October 16, 2007 - Washington
D.C. police have arrested a 19-year-old man
who they say shot his 15-year-old girlfriend in the face. Investigators say it happened on the 600-block of Atlantic Street, SE when the girl was visiting her boyfriend in the Condon Terrace.
Police say her wounds don't appear to be life-threatening.
Metropolitan Police arrested the man Monday and say they recovered the gun. Police plan to charge the man with assault with intent to kill while armed.
The shooting happened in the same block of Atlantic Street Southeast where 14-year-old DeOnte Rawlings was shot and killed last month during a confrontation with two off-duty D.C. Police officers.
That case remains under investigation, and the officers are on administrative leave.
