Arrest made in Dover robbery that ended in gunfire

The Dover Police Department says they arrested a teenager after he tried to rob two other men.

Riley Braswell, 18, reportedly attempted to rob two 22-year-old men on Wednesday afternoon. According to the report, around 2:25 PM, two men were walking on Ridgely Street, when approached by Braswell.

Officials say Braswell showed a handgun and demanded the victims turn over their property.

The victims reportedly fought off Braswell, who then fired multiple times at the victims. One of the victims was apparently legally open-carrying a firearm and fired back at Braswell.

Officials say no one was injured during the exchange, and Braswell was arrested without incident a short time later by police.

Braswell was reportedly committed to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in default of $180,000 secured bond on the following charges:

• Two counts of first degree robbery
• Two counts of reckless endangering first degree
• Possession of deadly weapon during commission of felony
• Carry concealed deadly weapon
• Possession of firearm by person prohibited
