Man accused of shooting at teens
A man faces assault charges after two 15-year-old girls said he shot at them Saturday night, according to court documents.
Tavorous Thompson, 18, has been charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment of children after one of the girls told police he attacked her and her friend while they were walking down East 49th Street.
She said Thompson first attempted to flirt with her friend. She told Thompson he was too old to be flirting with a 15-year-old. Thompson drew a pistol and fired three shots at the girls, one of them told police. Both girls reported they heard bullets whiz by their heads, the affidavit states.
Thompson then came to the restaurant where one of the 15-year-old’s mother worked, told her that he had shot at her daughter and walked out, the affidavit states. The mother called police, and led them to the area her daughter said the incident had occurred outside Thompson’s family home on 39th Street.
