Four teenagers were arrested Wednesday in connection with a drive-by shooting in unincorporated Douglasville, authorities said.

They are accused of firing at least seven gunshots at a home near Anneewakee Road on June 1, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. The home and a vehicle parked in the driveway were hit about six times, and seven .40-caliber casings were found in the roadway.

A resident was able to identify the shooters’ silver 2011 Chevy Impala, which was found at a local gas station. Deputies pulled over the vehicle and took the four teens into custody.

A stolen handgun, an empty magazine and a misdemeanor amount of marijuana was found in the vehicle, the post said. The handgun was the same caliber as the shell casings recovered from the scene.

The four suspects who were arrested on charges of aggravated assault, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana are:

• Tacory Denard Broome, 19, of Riverdale,

• Anthony Yarnez Harris, 17, of Fairburn,

• Alan Lloyd Cofield, 18, of Douglasville,

• Eric Tyone Rogers, 19, of Douglasville.
