SCHELLSBURG, Pa. (AP) - Prosecutors in Pennsylvania have announced charges against two people in connection with gunfire between a group of marchers on their way to Washington, D.C., from Milwaukee and a rural Pennsylvania resident last summer.
Bedford County District Attorney Lesley Childers-Potts said Friday that 51-year-old Terry Myers of Schellsburg and 37-year-old Orsino Thurman of Milwaukee, Wisconsin faced charges including aggravated assault and reckless endangering.
Childers-Potts said the charges were “based upon the facts of the case, not emotion or popular opinion,” adding that she hadn’t been willing “to make a charging decision based upon incomplete information.”
