San Jose Police on Thursday released a video of a robbery and shooting at the Oakridge Mall last December, and announced felony charges against three San Jose teens in connection with the incident.

The announcement of the charges and release of the mall security video occurred more than a month after the third suspect was arrested in San Jose.

Two 19-year-olds, Ulises Jimenez and Paul Lebeau, will face robbery charges, while their robbery victim, 18-year-old Naylen Hobson Plattner, has been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder.

Miraculously, no shoppers or workers were injured when Plattner opened fire with an automatic handgun in the crowded San Jose mall, spraying bullets at the two men after they stole jewelry from him.
