Devin Johnson is charged with attempted first and second-degree murder, first-degree assault, felony use of a firearm in a violent crime, reckless endangerment, having a handgun on his person, discharging firearms, and two counts of having a handgun 100 yards within the public in connection to an incident on Sept. 5.
