Court records said the victim told investigators that Wren put the gun to his head and fired a shot, but he moved his head out of the way and the shot struck the 13-year-old boy.

Wren and Ragsdale allegedly fled the scene in a black Honda, according to the complaint. The victim said Ragsdale fired additional shots as they drove away.

During an interview with police, the 13-year-old boy said the other victim’s ex-girlfriend showed up at their house. He said he went outside to break up a physical altercation that broke out. As he tried to break up the fight, a man and woman, later identified as Wren and Ragsdale, attempted to shoot the other victim, at which point he was hit in the leg.
