Two people were shot in a Southeast Oak Cliff neighborhood Tuesday morning.

Shortly after, at around 7:30 a.m., Perkins retrieved a handgun and shot up their home, destroying windows, the vehicle parked out front, and striking both victims.

The 13-year-old boy, who was shot in the leg, and the 20-year-old male were both taken to the hospital for treatment of their gunshot wounds. They are both in stable condition.

Perkins is charged with two counts of aggravated assault, possession of a controlled substance, deadly conduct, unlawful possession of a firearm, and burglary assault.
