ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Two cousins were arrested Wednesday in connection with a shooting at an Orange County gas station Monday that left two people injured.

Deputies said Briderris Clarke, 18, and Jamel Rucker, 45, were charged with attempted murder in connection with the shooting at a 7-Eleven at South Orange Blossom Trail and 39th Street.

Investigators said Tavaris Stephens, 28, and Travis Fleury, 21, survived the shooting.

A witness said Clarke exited a vehicle and ran toward a crowd of people standing at the gas pumps, fired shots at the crowd and ran back to the vehicle, according to an arrest report.

The witness said Rucker and Clarke celebrated in the vehicle as they drove away from the scene, the report said.
