A new TikTok challenge has resulted in two Washington County teenagers being charged.

The first incident occurred at the Burger King in Washington County when the teens shot multiple people with Orbeez guns. Two employees were hit by the BB-sized pellets of water. One was hit in the lip and eye, the other was hit in the neck and back.

18-year-old Maddix Ganster of Claysville, a student at McGuffey High School, was driving his mom's vehicle through the Burger King lot with another male in the back seat. Investigators say the other male, a student at Trinity High School, rolled down the rear driver's side window and shot two workers in the drive-thru.

Then after Ganster drove away, he dropped the teen off and went to the Washington Wild Things parking lot where he rolled down his driver's side window and shot two people getting out of a vehicle. Police say Ganster took off and disposed of the guns.

A spokesperson with the Washington Wild Things says none of their employees were hit.
