From Niesha Lofing:
Two Granite Bay teens are in police custody today in connection to a shooting at a Roseville fast-food restaurant Wednesday afternoon.
Roseville police arrested Justin Mathew Wittkop, 18, and a 17-year-old girl on suspicion of attempted murder and conspiracy shortly after midnight today, said Dee Dee Gunther, spokeswoman for the Roseville Police Department.
Wittkop is being held without bail in Placer County Jail in Auburn, and the girl was booked into the county's Juvenile Hall.
The two are being held in connection to a shooting Wednesday afternoon that wounded a 16-year-old boy. His wounds were not life threatening.
The incident began about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday at a fast-food restaurant in the 8600 block of Sierra College Boulevard, she said.
Two groups of teenagers fought outside and inside the restaurant. The restaurant's manager stopped the fight, and one of the groups left.
Members of the other group came out of the restaurant about 20 minutes later and were standing near the street when a silver sedan cruised by. Handgun shots were fired from the vehicle, striking a 16-year-old Roseville boy in the back and leg, Gunther said.
The boy was taken to a local hospital and treated for his wounds. His condition is not being disclosed.
Wittkop is believed to have been driving the car, Gunther said.
The shooting does not appear to be gang-related, she said.
Police are still investigating whether he was the shooter.
