GARDEN CITY, Idaho — A Garden City man and a teenage boy are in custody after a shooting incident Wednesday morning, according to the Garden City Police Department (GCPD). 

Police arrested 18-year-old Dylan Gilchrest of Garden City for unlawfully discharging a firearm. They also arrested a 16-year-old boy, who is facing attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault. 

Around 9:30 a.m., Garden City Police received reports of gunshots being fired in and around a residence. Officers were dispatched to the area of 9200 Stoneham Drive. Garden City Interim Police Chief Cory Stambaugh said, "upon arrival, officers heard and saw gunshots being fired out of the house and in their direction."
