EAST PALO ALTO — Guns, cash and large sums of illegal drugs were seized at the homes of three East Palo Alto teenagers on Thursday in the aftermath of an October shooting, according to authorities.

The shooting was reported at a home on the 2300 block of Cooley Avenue on Oct. 13, police said. There were no injuries in the shooting, but home surveillance video captured images of the three teenagers involved.

Police identified the suspects as two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old.

Authorities served arrest and search warrants for all three suspects on Thursday. Five firearms were seized, including an AR-15 rifle and a glock-style pistol, which were confirmed to be unserialized “ghost guns.” There were also high-capacity magazines found, including a 60-round magazine for the AR-15.

Other items found in the search included 22 ounces of cocaine, MDMA pills, marijuana and more than $4,000 in cash.

All three teens were arrested, police said.
