Police in Luzerne County arrested a 17-year-old and accused him of firing a gun into an apartment building earlier this year in Edwardsville. The bullet did not strike anyone but did hit a couch where a family was sitting. The teenager, who is charged as an adult, was identified by borough police this week as Jovan Goodwin, of Hanover Township. No one was hurt in the January 24 incident. The police charged Goodwin with offenses included aggravated assault, illegally carrying a firearm and several counts of recklessly endangering another person. A judge set his bail at $100,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing for May 14.
