According to the Orlando Police Department, no one was injured by the gunfire, which rang out during an off-campus incident around 4:05 p.m. in the 4500 block of Columbia Street.
Within minutes, three teens were detained after officers heard two gunshots and saw a crowd of children running, investigators said. Police previously said that an off-campus brawl took place but later discovered the commotion was caused by the gunshots.
Police did not release any details about the person the 13-year-old was targeting.
The third juvenile detained was released without charges.
The 13-year-old also faces charges of aggravated assault with a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school and carrying a concealed firearm.
Orlando police said they encourage “our community to always say something if they see something.”
