One of the teens ran up to the victim, pushing her, causing her to hit a concrete pillar and fall to ground. The teen than stood over her with a black gun and demanded the victim’s car keys.

Near the intersection of East Middle Lane and Helen Heneghan Way, one of the teenagers turned and pointed a gun at the witnesses, causing them to back off.
Approximately thirty minutes later, an officer from the Rockville City Police Department observed the three suspects near route 355 and East Gude Drive. Additional officers responded an all three were detained without incident. Located in a bookbag was a black BB gun and three ski masks.
The three teenage boys were transported to the Montgomery County Police Department Headquarters, for processing. All three were charged with attempted armed carjacking and first-degree assault.
The Department of Juvenile Services has been consulted, and all three were released to the custody of their parents under, “community detention.”
