DOVER — A 20-year-old Felton man has been charged with two counts of first-degree attempted murder regarding an incident where multiple shots were fired at a group of people June 19.

Delaware State Police said the incident took place in the Uncle Willies parking lot at 5485 S. DuPont Highway. Troopers were dispatched at 10:52 p.m. and told that five people had engaged in a verbal confrontation with other individuals in a dark-colored vehicle, spokeswoman Master Cpl. Melissa Jaffe said.

No injuries were reported.

Mr. Lewis was also charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, first-degree reckless endangerment (four counts) and criminal mischief.
