Easton police have charged two teenagers as adults after they say they shot a car and person with a BB gun.
It happened Sunday around 6 p.m. at West Grant and Folk streets. Police said the 15- and 16-year-olds shot at a moving car with a family of four inside.
Ruth Santiago of Roseto said she and her husband, along with their children, were driving to see relatives when it happened.
"As we turned the corner we heard a pop and a shatter from the back window," she told 69 News. "When we turned our heads, my son was leaning against the window, and we saw the whole glass shatter and he yelled because he didn't know what was going on and he had glass all over him."
The shot caused the rear window of the car to explode and caused some scratches to the eight year-old boy. Santiago said her one year-old daughter was not injured.
Police said Gilberto Santiago chased the teens, and they fired several shots from a CO2 pistol at his face.
"Hit him around his face, neck area," said Santiago, who added her husband is doing fine.
Police charged 15-year-old Kenneth Beam and 16 year-old Kasaan Brevard as adults.
Each teen was charged with aggravated assault, propulsion of missiles into an occupied vehicle, criminal mischief, prohibited offensive weapon, possessing instruments of crime and recklessly endangering another person.
Police said both teens admitted to firing the BB gun. Police found a CO2 pistol loaded with BB type projectiles and CO2 in Brevard's bedroom.
"For kids to be playing around with a BB gun thinking it's a toy, it's not a toy, they could have really done damage," said Santiago. "My son could have gotten really hurt, my daughter could have gotten really hurt, and then what?"
Both teens were committed to the Northampton County Prison on $15,000 bail.
