A 15-year-old has been charged in the shooting near Dunbar High School (Baltimore, Md.) during a football game in September that hospitalized a 12-year-old, according to WBALTV.

The suspect was already being held at the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center on unrelated gun charges, according to the outlet. With the new charges, he was transferred to Central Booking, where he is held without bail. He will be charged as an adult for attempted first-degree murder, WBALTV reported.
