CROWN POINT, Ind. — A 20-year-old man has pleaded guilty to charges in a shooting that happened in a northwestern Indiana high school's parking lot that killed one teenager and injured another.
The shooting happened about 12:15 a.m. March 15 after a fistfight outside Merrillville High School.
Authorities say Leonard Young of Michigan City fatally shot 18-year-old Tyree Riley of Merrillville in the chest as Riley rode in a car leaving the scene.
The 19-year-old driver suffered a graze wound to his head.
Young admitted to felony charges of reckless homicide and battery with a deadly weapon during a Lake County court hearing on Friday, with prosecutors dropping murder charges.
