Suspects given court dates

Rachana Dixit / Senior writer

Hearing dates have been assigned for suspects charged in the Ashby Crossing shootings that occurred Saturday night.

Michael Adams, 20, of Yorktown, and Terrell Davis, 20, of Harrisonburg, both non-students, allegedly were involved with the two shots fired in Ashby Crossing.

Adams, who will be represented by Richard Claybrook, a Commonwealth attorney, will appear in court on March 31 at 2 p.m. and Davis will appear in court May 3 at 10 a.m. to be informed of their charges.

Adams is charged with reckless handling of a firearm, unlawful shooting into an occupied dwelling and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Davis is charged with accessory after the fact and possession of marijuana.

The Harrisonburg Police Department said that the bullet was fired by a handgun, and that there is one visible bullet hole in the wall of the apartment building, 1210 Devon Lane.

There were no injuries reported.

The bullet, which was recovered by an evidence technician, is at a lab for testing, along with the handgun. Lab results could take between one and two months to come back, said Lieutenant Kurt Boshart of the HPD.

HPD is conducting an investigation on the shooting incident.

"The thought of guns being in the apartments does bother me, but what can someone really do about it, besides be cautious?" freshman Kelly Ewald said, who is considering living in Ashby Crossing next year.

Ashby Crossing declined to comment.
