OTHELLO - A local teenager arrested in connection with a Nov. 16 shooting at a convenience store is being held on $1 million bail in Martin Hall juvenile detention in Cheney.
The boy, whose name has yet to be released by authorities, was booked into the detention center for first-degree assault and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
He is accused of entering the Chevron Pic-a-Pop convenience store, 1235 S. First St., at 12:43 a.m. and shooting a 25-year-old Coulee Dam resident.
With life-threatening injuries, the victim, whose name also has yet to be released, was taken by private vehicle to a local hospital. The victim was later transferred to another hospital, where police said he was listed in critical condition.
Following the shooting, the teenager fled the area, but was arrested Nov. 17 in the Tri-Cities.
He was found to be in possession of three firearms, including one believed to have been used in the shooting.
One of the guns was previously reported stolen from Kennewick, records show.
