Two shooting defendants rejected a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan on Nov. 27.
Saki Frost, 18, is charged with two counts of assault with intent to commit any other offense while armed, two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and six counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
Azhari Graves, 18, is charged with two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
According to court documents, the codefendants allegedly fired shots at a Chevy Cruze during a shootout. Some of the bullets pierced a classroom window at Dunbar High School striking a female juvenile student in the head who survived injury.

This a\sentencing range stipulated in the plea was eight-to-12 years or 10 years.
Both defendants rejected the plea offer and are set for indictment.
Parties are set to reconvene Feb. 20.
