A Wilkinsburg man is free on bond after being charged by Allegheny County police with aggravated assault in connection with a shooting on Sunday night in Versailles Borough.

Dondre A. Grisom, 27, was released Thursday on $20,000 bond pending a preliminary hearing Jan. 31 before Magisterial District Judge Thomas Miller Jr.

Allegheny County police allege that Grisom shot an unnamed juvenile just before 9 p.m. during an incident in the 900 block of Center Street. The youth was taken to the hospital by private vehicle, police said. His condition was not released.

Police said that following an investigation by county detectives, Grisom was charged with aggravated assault, unauthorized possession of a firearm and recklessly endangering another person.

Grisom surrendered without incident on Thursday at Allegheny County police headquarters in Green Tree, police said.
