Four teens were arrested Saturday evening in DeKalb County after a drive-by shooting near a skating rink, police said.A 16-year-old boy was shot in the leg and taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
The teens were riding in a black Honda Civic just after 6 p.m. when they pulled up to a bus stop in the 2700 block of Wesley Chapel Road, DeKalb police spokeswoman Keisha Williams said.They shot at another group of teens — including the victim — and then drove off, Williams said.Officers in a police helicopter soon spotted the car in the Autumn Lake neighborhood and saw four persons fleeing the vehicle, police said.Within an hour, Williams said, police captured two of the suspects on a nearby road. The other two were arrested in a house.The four youths, all juveniles, were charged with aggravated assault, Williams said. Police discovered their car had been stolen from the Virginia Highlands area, she said.The victim’s name was not released. The four suspects were not identified because they are minors. The case remained under investigation late Saturday night, but police believe the assailants knew the victim and the other teens at the bus stop, Williams said.
