WASHINGTON — DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Friday that two teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder and will be tried as adults for the slaying of a congressional intern in June — and that a third suspect is still being pursued.

Eric Tarpinian-Jachym , 21, was gunned down July 1 about a mile northeast of the White House in a drive-by shooting. He was not thought to have been the intended target.

“Eric didn’t deserve to be gunned down, and the system failed him — the system that felt that juveniles needed to be coddled. And it’s bad not to be gunned down on any street, but to be gunned down in our nation’s capital is an outrage,” Pirro said.
