No one was injured during the shooting. Police found two 9mm shell casings in the area. <\/p>\n<p>The juveniles said the shooter was the same man who had chased them and fired shots at them several times before, police said. <\/p>\n<p>A Sept. 10 incident involved multiple gunshots fired after witnesses saw a similar blue sedan. On Wednesday, police spotted the suspect&#8217;s vehicle. The driver accelerated toward an officer\u2019s car before fleeing. Police obtained the vehicle&#8217;s registration number before it jumped a curb and fled across a grassy area. <\/p>\n<p>Turgunbekov matched the alleged shooter\u2019s description, police said. <\/p>\n<p>Police said he was also involved in a 2024 road rage incident where Turgunbekov allegedly pointed a BB rifle and threw a tire iron through another vehicle\u2019s rear window. <\/p>\n<p>The juveniles from the Oct. 11th shooting positively identified Turgunbekov as the suspect. <\/p>\n<p>Turgunbekov is charged with Aggravated Assault, Carrying a Firearm Without a License, Fleeing or Attempting to Elude Police, Simple Assault, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, and related charges. <\/p>\n<p>Turgunbekov was arraigned by District Justice Daniel Baranoski and sent to the Bucks County Prison on 10 percent of $250,000 bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia man was charged with several offenses after turning himself in on Thursday, police said.
