Overview
- A 15-year-old high school student was shot after exiting a school bus at North Sixth and Emerald Streets and later died, police say.
- Harrisburg authorities arrested 16-year-old Jeremiah Moran and charged him with first-degree murder plus two firearms offenses after investigators obtained video and an affidavit, prosecutors confirmed.
- Police say the affidavit records an admission by Moran and describes video showing the suspect firing a handgun, and those materials helped secure the charges.
- Moran was denied bail, is being held in Dauphin County Prison, and under Pennsylvania law the murder charge means he will be prosecuted as an adult.
- Local officials organized lockdowns and counseling for students, the mayor called for community action, and investigators are asking the public to submit tips as the homicide probe continues.
