WASHINGTON - Authorities say two teens are in custody after they attacked and tried to shoot a student on a school bus in Prince George's County earlier this month.
Officers say a 14-year-old boy from Suitland and a 15-year-old boy from Temple Hills were both charged in the alleged attack.
They are charged as adults with attempted first and second-degree murder, assault, and additional charges.
Officials are still searching for the third suspect.
The alleged attack happened May 1 on a Prince George's County school bus after the driver stopped to let a student off at a stop by Iverson Mall. Police say the three teenage suspects wearing masks and hoodies pushed their way past the bus aide and began attacking the student.
One suspect pointed a gun at the boy's chest and pulled the trigger, but the gun jammed. The bus aide said bullets fell to the floor.
