Prosecutors charged two brothers on Friday, May 1, with multiple felonies – including attempted first-degree intentional homicide. Investigators said it is a miracle that no one was hurt.

“It’s only by the grace of god that no one was hit by this,” said Daniel Tombasco, the prosecutor handling the case.

Investigators say 19-year-old Ralph Stewart was behind the wheel of a Chevy Malibu. The car is seen parking right next to a Honda Accord at the gas pump. Police said 18-year-old Rodrick Stewart got out of the car with a gun and talked with his brother. Ralph then moved the car.
