Robbery victim shoots 17-year-old in self-defense, 4 teens charged<\/a><\/p>\n

BOWIE, Md. \u2014 A group of four teens has been arrested and charged after allegedly attempting to rob a victim just after 5 p.m. on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Bowie police said they were called to the 14900 block of Health Center Drive for reports of gunshots and a robbery, which is near the Bowie Health Center.<\/p>\n

According to police, the victim was approached by four suspects who had handguns. The victim then took out his own handgun, which police believe they did in self-defense. The victim ended up shooting one suspect<\/p>\n

Police say the victim did end up shooting one of the suspects.<\/p>\n

The group then fled the scene, according to police. Police found the 15-year-old suspect nearby and the 17-year-old suspect was identified after turning himself in for treatment of his gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

The other two teens were found after crashing a car that police said was reported stolen in Virginia. Prince George’s police found the car, the teens and two firearms after the incident in Glendale.<\/p>\n

In total, police have now arrested and charged a 15 and 16-year-old, of Hyattsville and Upper Marlboro, as well as two 17-year-olds from Hyattsville and Bladensburg. The three oldest teens have been charged as adults.<\/p>\n

Bowie Police Chief John Nesky held a news conference Wednesday to confirm the details.<\/p>\n

“These individuals are dangerous people. That’s evident by their actions last night,” Nesky said in the conference in response to a question from WUSA9’s Scott Broom. “I believe that this is probably part of a larger trend we are seeing in the area and around the region, especially as it pertains to juvenile crime . . . If you don’t have those supports systems, if you don’t have any other kinds of guardrails or systems, you’re going to get these kinds of actions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
