Five face charges in Carmichaels gas station shooting
A 16-year-old who was shot in the face in a gunfight at a Circle K outlet in Carmichaels on March 3 is facing multiple charges related to the incident, including attempted homicide, aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.
Christopher McKenzie, 16, of Carmichaels, is accused of firing on four others outside the Circle K at 202 W. George St., about 3:45 p.m. Thursday. Kobe Lee Cramer, 18, of Dunbar Township, Vincent Edward Pratt, 16, of Redstone Township, and siblings Marquis Noah Curry-Jones, 17, and Joshua Allen Curry-Jones, 19, both of Uniontown, have all already been charged with attempted homicide.
Joshua and Marquis Curry-Jones also sustained gunshot wounds in the exchange.
State police said surveillance footage at the Circle K store shows McKenzie taking items from a vehicle Cramer, Pratt and the Curry-Jones siblings were in and then trying to flee. Pratt and Joshua and Marquis Curry-Jones allegedly kicked and punched McKenzie outside the store, leading him to open fire on them. Police said McKenzie could be seen flinching in the security footage, indicating he had been hit.
Shell casings were scattered in the parking lot of the Circle K store, and a bullet hole was found in the ice machine outside the store, according to charging documents. Customers and employees were inside the store when the incident unfolded, state police said.
