A Lorain man and teenager face charges in alleged firing of multiple rounds Jan. 16 into an occupied house.

At 9:58 p.m., officers heard several shots fired in the area of West 23rd Street and Reid Avenue.

The chase stopped when the car crashed into a parked car at West 17th Street and Broadway.

Officers saw Taylor and the teen flee the vehicle.

Residents on West 23rd St. said they were doing laundry with a 5-year-old girl, or sitting on a couch holding a 3-month-old girl when shots hit a large picture window and went through to an interior wall opposite the window. Another bullet hit a window on Kelly Place, police said.
