Xinhua,November 29, 2017 Adjust font size:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Two 15-year-old boys have been arrested in connection with the Black Friday night shooting that killed a 12-year-old boy while injuring five others in Cleveland, a major city in the midwestern U.S. state of Ohio, local police said Tuesday.

U.S. Marshals and Cleveland police arrested one teenager at a high school on Monday and the second at his mother's home Tuesday morning, police said.

Juvenile criminal suspects will not be named unless they're charged as adults, according to a Cleveland.com report.

Both face 25 felony charges, including aggravated murder, murder, attempted murder, felonious assault and firing a gun across a roadway.

One of the teens also face a charge of possessing weapons despite having a felony conviction.

The two teens fired at least 20 gunshots at the six victims, said the report, citing police dispatch records.

The dead was a 7th-grade student who was helping his father at his beauty supply store.

Five others, all between 14 and 16 years old, were shot but have survived. Enditem
