“The Violent Crime Task Force agents worked long and hard on this case and were in regular contact with the solicitor,” said Sheriff Barry Faile. “With so many people involved and, to some degree, a lack of cooperation by witnesses to the event, this was a difficult and lengthy investigation. The tenacity of these investigators was fruitful,
and we are confident in the charges made. There is no place for gun violence in our community. With all the firearms present and the number of rounds fired during this incident, it is miraculous that more people were not shot in this residential area. I hope the result of the judicial process for these violent offenders is severe.”
