MILFORD, Del. - A 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man have been arrested after police say they threatened others with a gun during a Friday night confrontation in Milford.
According to the Milford Police Department, officers were called around 10:13 p.m. on Oct. 17 after three people reported being threatened while sitting in a car in the 300 block of NW 2nd Street. They told officers that a SUV pulled up next to them and a 17-year-old boy got out, pointed a handgun at one of them and demanded they get out of the car. The group instead drove away.
Police say the victims also reported that a second person was involved in the threat. After an investigation, police identified the 17-year-old and issued an arrest warrant. On Oct. 20, the teenager was arrested at Milford High School by a school resource officer. Officers say they then searched the boy's car on school property and found two untraceable handguns and ammunition. Neither gun had a serial number, according to police.
The teenager, who was not named due to his age, faces multiple felony charges, including:
Possession of a firearm and ammunition by a person under 21
Possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony
