Brent Metz, the Colorado town councilman accused of shooting a 17-year-old boy in the face last week, has been formally charged.

Metz is accused of shooting the teen who, along with his friend, say they hopped a fence to knock on a Conifer property owner’s door to get permission to take high school homecoming photos. When it appeared no one was home, they went back to their car on the side of the road to write a note for the property owner.

According to an arrest report, Metz pulled up in his truck, pulled a handgun and shot the 17-year-old through the windshield of his Audi.
