A Cowley County teen charged with attempted murder and aggravated burglary will find out Friday whether he'll stay in juvenile detention or go home. The 15-year-old has been at the Reno County facility since his arrest Wednesday night.
Cowley County Attorney Chris Smith tells us he plans to argue in favor of keeping the boy locked up.
The teen is accused of shooting a woman in the face and chest early Wednesday morning. Doctors have since released the victim from the hospital.
