The 14-year-old girl who allegedly opened fire at Florida deputies after breaking into a home could be charged as an adult, according to authorities. The teen and a 12-year-old boy are alleged to have engaged in a shootout with deputies from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office after running away from a group home and breaking into an empty house on June 1, authorities said. She made her first appearance in a Volusia County court on Tuesday. A judge ordered the girl to be held for 21 days until a hearing on June 23. During this period, prosecutors will decide whether she will be charged as an adult, Spencer Hathaway, Florida State Attorney's Office public information officer, told ABC News. She has been held at the Department of Juvenile Justice Facility in Daytona Beach since she was released from the hospital, Andrew Gant, a spokesperson for the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, told ABC News. A nine-day extension of the girl's detention is expected, Hathaway said.
