Rapper Who Opened Fire At Tysons Corner Mall Pleads Guilty

WASHINGTON, DC — A D.C. rapper accused of firing a gun inside Tyson's Corner Mall in June pleaded guilty to four charges this week in connection with the shooting, which prompted the mall to close and customers to flee, according to authorities.

Noah Settles, also known as No Savage, pleaded guilty to three counts of malicious discharge of a firearm in an occupied dwelling and use of a gun in the commission of a felony, according to Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano.

Settles could face a mandatory 3-year prison sentence for unlawful use of a firearm. The other charges carry a maximum 10-year sentence.

"When I came into office, we promised to take serious crimes seriously. I can think of few more serious crimes than this: taking a gun and firing into a crowded, public space, endangering the safety of our community members and visitors, disrupting public life, and threatening their future sense of safety," Descano said in a state"Today'soday’s outcome guarantees accountability for every piece of this incident."
