Suffolk County, NY - May 6, 2015 - Ismael Forbes, 20, of West Islip, arrested in Bay Shore on April 26 for shooting two teenagers with a BB gun at the corner of Higbie Lane and Udall Road will be arraigned on an indictment in Riverhead tomorrow, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said.

State Supreme Court Justice John Collins (third floor of the courthouse) will unseal the charges against Forbes.

One victim was shot in the chin and required surgery to remove the B.B., the other victim had surgery to remove the pellet from his nasal cavity. Both victims said they were shot as Forbes drove by in a minivan.

Police charged Forbes with two counts of assault in the second degree with intent (to inflict) physical injury.
