WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The two teenagers involved in the Green Line train shooting that happened at the Anacostia Metro station will both be tried as adults, according to the Superior Court.
The shooting happened at around 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday aboard the Green Line train at the Anacostia station, police said.
A 16-year-old male, identified as Hassan Graves, shot a man on a Green Line train after the train stopped at the Anacostia Metro station Tuesday, Metro Transit Police said.
The 16-year-old was charged with armed robbery and 19-year-old Andre Broadie was charged with robbery in connection with the shooting. The court ruled Wednesday morning that the 16-year-old will be tried as an adult.
An investigation into the shooting is ongoing, but preliminarily it appears the shooting stemmed from either a robbery or an attempted robbery, according to a police source.
Graves was charged with the robbery of a 7-11 store in Southeast D.C. on December 30.
Authorities said they still have not found the weapon that was used in the shooting.
Police say the shooting on Tuesday was a rarity. More officers have been riding Metro trains to patrol the area.
The victim in the shooting has been released from the hospital, officials said.
