CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. — Additional charges have been filed against the suspect of a Cumberland County Sheetz shooting that left one person injured.

According to the Cumberland County District Attorney's Office, Angelo Christopher Rice, 21, of Carlisle, allegedly fired a gun at least thirteen times in the July 26 shooting, recklessly disregarding the lives of other drivers. 

An affidavit of probable cause states that security video from the Sheetz, located at 1098 Harrisburg Pike in Middlesex Township, showed the victim's car closely following Rice's black Honda sedan just before the shooting.

Rice then drove around the gas pumps of the Sheetz and exited out the Wolfs Bridge Road side. While sitting at a red light, Rice was approached by the victim. 

Rice allegedly then exited his car and shot the victim. While shooting, officers noted that there was a white Pontiac minivan with four people inside that was struck three times.

Two of the shots struck the minivan's roof and one struck the driver's side front tire, causing it to become flat. 

The victim was found by police suffering at the scene from a gunshot wound to the upper left arm. 

According to online court documents, Rice has additionally been charged with criminal attempted homicide, aggravated assault- attempts to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference and aggravated assault- attempts to cause or causes bodily injury with a deadly weapon. 

Officers allege that Rice was not permitted to carry a concealed weapon and he placed the lives of the minivan's four passengers in danger when he was shooting recklessly, disregarding their safety. 

These charges were added to the previous four counts of recklessly endangering another person and one felony count of firearms not to be carried without a license Rice was originally charged with. 

Rice is currently at Cumberland County Prison after turning himself in to police on Aug. 4.
