Eighteen-year-olds Jadon Stevenson and Christopher Hall were apprehended on Friday after police received reports of gunshots ringing out in the area.
The Wild Chaotic Afternoon
On Thursday afternoon, frantic calls poured in to local law enforcement as residents reported hearing gunfire echoing through the Chandler Park complex.
