BROOKLYN, Conn. -- A 16-year-old Brooklyn teen was arrested after police said he shot several times at a group with an AK-47 at a basketball court Tuesday night.

According to state police, the teen was playing basketball behind Our Lady of Lasalette Church on Route 6 when he got into an argument with some of the other players.

Witnesses said he bragged about having an AK-47 rifle and threatened to return to the court to shoot them. After the argument, the teen allegedly left the court and returned 10 minutes later, dressed in black and carrying that rifle, police said.

According to witnesses, he shot several times at the group, but they were able to wrestle him to the ground and take away the rifle. Troopers arrived to find a man holding the teen down.

No one was injured by the shots fired.

The 16-year-old was rushed to Kimball Hospital in Putnam for head injuries. He’s now in police custody, facing attempted murder, reckless endangerment and drug charges.

Because of the teen's age, police and the courts did not release his name or any other information about him.

State police also did not release any information about the people who subdued him.
