NORTH COLLEGE HILL, Ohio (WXIX) - A teenager was sentenced Thursday in connection with two shots-fired incidents in September, according to North College Hill police.

A 17-year-old boy was sentenced to serve four years in “juvenile lockup” until he turns 21, North College Hill police wrote in a press release.

The first shots-fired incident was on Sept. 6 at a Cincinnati Country Day vs. North College Hill football game.

According to a witness at the scene, the game was in the third quarter when players and coaches began running off the field, and fans ran from the stands.

The second shots-fired incident was on Sept. 13 during school dismissal at North College Hill High School.

The teenager was arrested that same day, police say.

Nobody was hurt in either incident, according to officers.

Since the teen is a minor, police did not release his name.
