19-year-old charged after 2 youths shot in Southbridge

A 19-year-old Southbridge man is facing charges after a shooting Saturday night on Dennison Drive injured two juveniles, police said.

David A. Adorno, of 584 Dennison Drive, was arrested Saturday night, police wrote in a news release, after two people were shot on the street on which he lives.

Police said they received a report of the shooting around 5:45 p.m., and found multiple shell casings in the driveway of a home on Dennison Drive; they did not specify the address.

While police were at the home, headquarters received a report of two victims being treated in the emergency room at UMass Memorial Health – Harrington Hospital with gunshot wounds.

The victims were two “juveniles” who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said, and who were eventually transferred to a Worcester hospital as a “precaution.”

Adorno was arrested “shortly after this incident was reported to police” following investigation by Southbridge detectives “along with the assistance of troopers from Massachusetts State Police Crime Scene Services, staff from the crime laboratory and a ballistics K9,” police wrote.

Police did not say where Adorno was arrested. He faces two counts of armed assault to murder with a firearm, possession of a firearm without a license to carry, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, intentional or negligent firing into a dwelling, and unlawful possession of ammunition, they said.

He is being held on $50,000 cash bail pending arraignment in Dudley District Court on Monday morning.

“This investigation is ongoing by our Detective Division and other criminal charges may be filed against the involved juveniles,” police wrote.

Police said they would not release any further information about the juveniles since they are minors.
