2 teens shot, charged with attempted robbery
Two teens wounded outside a Concord Commons apartment late Thursday night face felony charges in connection with events that led to their shooting, police said.
Orlando Marshall, 17, of 2021 W. 8th Ave., and Stephan Alexander, 19, of 4216 Jackson St., were stopped at 5th Avenue and Taft Street in a silver Chevrolet described by the man who said he was assaulted at the door of his apartment about 11 p.m.
Kenneth Paige, 21, told police he heard someone knocking on his window about 11 p.m. and opened the building’s entrance door to the men he said he didn’t recognize.
After hearing someone knock on his apartment door, Paige told police he thought something was wrong and grabbed his gun before opening the door.
Two men beat him and pointed guns at him, then fled when Paige fired at both of them, Sgt. Williams Fazekas said.
The teens face charges of criminal recklessness, attempted robbery and other felonies.
Detective Cpl. Jeff Hornyak is leading the investigation.

I think I smell a problem here...
Is Saturday police blotter day?
Not more Karma.
Col. Colt is karma’s little helper.
Indeed.
I guess they got tired of waiting for their “hope and change”...
“Gary has a very high crime rate.”
Changed a bit from the depiction in “The Music Man”, hasn’t it?
I mostly post them as I find them. I try to make it easy for freepers to see news involving guns, self defense, and the Second Amendment.
Paige has his procedure a little screwed up. You fire at them before the beatings and the guns.
Outstanding!
Gary Indiana seems to have slipped a bit since Ron Howard sang about it in the Music Man motion picture.
