“A 19-year-old female suspect, now charged, fled the scene and attempted to hide from police in a nearby yard,” police said. A canine unit was used to find the woman, who was bit by a police dog and taken to hospital after her arrest.
She was charged with two counts of second-degree murder. The woman will also face the courts for unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a loaded, prohibited firearm.
