DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A teenager who was jailed on attempted homicide charges after police say he pointed a gun and pulled the trigger at a minor during a party in Dauphin County, is now out.
Online court documents show that 16-year-old Liam McMillen, of Camp Hill, was granted and posted a $200,000 bail on Wednesday. Originally, McMillen was denied bail.
The reason for the change is unclear, as court records did not state why. McMillen is scheduled to appear in court Thursday for a preliminary hearing.
McMillen also faces charges of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a minor from the incident.

According to the charges filed by Lower Paxton Township Police, McMillen showed up uninvited to the party, happening in the 2700 block of English Court, on Sept. 14 .
Police said McMillen got upset about a comment that was made about him by a minor, so he pulled out a gun, pointed it, and pulled the trigger at the minor, but the gun jammed. He managed to leave the scene before police arrived but was later found and charged.
