Drive-by paintball spree lands Ore. teens in big trouble
TROUTDALE, Ore. (AP) - Troutdale police say they have arrested three young men after a drive-by paintball attack.
Troutdale officers responded around 11 p.m. Saturday to reports of people shooting with a paintball gun from a moving car. Multiple people were hit, including one person who was injured.
Arrested are 18-year-old Daniel Schmitt of Gresham, 18-year-old Alexander Penner of Portland, and a 17-year-old male juvenile from Portland.
All three were arrested. The two adults are being held on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, conspiracy, assault, reckless endangering and criminal mischief.
The three young men told officers that they were house sitting in Troutdale and saw the paintball gun in the garage.
Stupid is as stupid does.... they were lucky someone didn't shoot them for real. Hopefully they learn from this.
