State police filed charges Wednesday morning against a Butler man accused in the Tuesday evening shooting of three people at the Clearview Mall in Center Township.

Carlos Gonzalez Carril, 24, is charged with attempted homicide, felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor simple assault, for each of the three people he allegedly shot Tuesday outside of the Rural King store.

According to charging documents, at about 6:30 p.m., Gonzalez Carril was in one vehicle with others when he shot into another vehicle, wounding three people.

Police said the wounded exited the vehicle and entered the store, and Gonzalez Carril fled the scene in the vehicle to the Sheetz on Route 8, Center Township. Police said they interviewed Gonzalez Carril in the gas station's parking lot.

"Gonzalez Carril then reported his driver's door window had been shot; however, after viewing the entire driver's side of the vehicle, there were no bullet holes or damage to the vehicle," said the investigating officer.
