A 17-year-old Fairfield boy has been arrested on charges that he shot into a car driving between Suisun City and Fairfield on Dec. 5.

Police think the shooting may be gang-related, and the four occupants of the car that was shot are not cooperating with authorities.

A full press release from the Fairfield Police Department follows:
