A 19-year-old has been charged in a weekend shooting that critically injured a man at a Gaithersburg home. Montgomery County police said Daniel Lucas is charged with first-degree assault and reckless endangerment in the Saturday incident at a home on the 1200 block of Knoll Mist Lane.
Police allege that Lucas and another man got into a fight at the residence and wrestled for a gun. The weapon discharged, and the bullet struck a man who was inside the home but was not involved in the altercation, police said.
The wounded man, whose name was not released, remains hospitalized, police said Tuesday.
Authorities said a warrant was issued for Lucas’ arrest but he had not been taken into custody.
