NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police officers found two teens in a home on Enchanted Circle for two separate violent crimes.

Officers arrested 18-year-old Anthony D. Thomas, Jr. and an unidentified 17-year-old Wednesday.

Thomas, Jr. was charged with felony aggravated assault for firing 10 to 12 shots from the sunroof of a BMW sedan as the car traveled on Elizabeth Road on March 26. The shots scared people on the street and prompted them to run for safety.

The 17-year-old is facing an attempted murder charge for opening fire on a female resident of Eastboro Drive who caught him stealing the wheels from her son’s car. Fingerprint evidence led to identification of the 17-year-old.

Both teens remain under investigation in regard to other gun crimes. Officers found seven guns and ammunition in the home on Enchanted Circle.

Two semi-automatic pistols recovered from the attic were listed as stolen.
