DANBURY, Conn. — Danbury police have charged a 14-year-old resident with connection to a shooting at the Danbury Fair Mall last week.
Due to age, police have not released his name.
The shooting happened around 7 p.m. last Wednesday. The mall was immediately put into lockdown. A 15-year-old girl was reportedly shot in the chest, but remains in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The teen has been charged with assault in the 1st degree, reckless endangerment, unlawful discharge of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a permit, risk of injury to a minor, and breach of peace.
