Erie police said Monday they have arrested three boys on suspicion of shooting at two homes early Sunday.
The boys, 17, 15 and 13 years old, are suspected of unlawful discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment and felony criminal mischief. Police say they were booked into the Platte Valley Detention Center in Greeley and that they are working with the Weld County District Attorney’s Office on the case.
“Additional charges may be filed,” police said in a news release.
Officers were called at about 1:15 a.m. Sunday to the 200 block of Primrose Lane in Vista Ridge on a report of windows being shot. Investigators there found that an upstairs window of a home had been shattered.
As police investigated the first report, authorities say they learned another home, on the 1600 block of Crest View, in the same neighborhood had also been shot.
Police say their investigation led them to a home where the three boys were, later arresting the trio.
“Search warrants were obtained and executed at the suspects’ residence,” the release said. “Erie police investigators, along with members of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, worked throughout the day on Sunday to collect evidence.”
Police say no one was injured in the shootings and that there is no community risk.
Officials did not release the boys’ names.
“At this time, no other information will be released as the case is still under investigation,” the release said.
