He’s facing charges of two counts of second-degree assault, and a count of marijuana possession with the intent to deliver.

The shooting was reported at about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, near 18th and Douglas streets — near enough to Omaha Central High School that it was put into “secure” status for about 80 minutes.

The incident sent a 14- and 15-year-old to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
