(Michigan City, IN) - A teenager left his high school graduation party with a friend then later both of them wound up in handcuffs for firing of gunshots in Michigan City.

 

Ryder Lechtanski, 18, and Lennon Houghtaling, 19, are each charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with Level 5 felony criminal recklessness.

 

According to court documents, Houghtaling on Saturday went to Lechtanski’s graduation party at his home just outside Michigan City on 300 North.

 

They later went to Houghtaling’s residence in the 400 block of Chicago St. on the city's west side. 

 

Police said an officer later responded to that area on a report of a gunshot fired then while at the scene heard another gunshot.
