DOUGLAS COUNTY - The Superior teen facing several felonies, including attempted first-degree intentional homicide charges, pleaded not guilty yesterday morning in Douglas County Court.  14-year-old Carsen Petersen is facing multiple felony charges for an incident that happened in May of last year in the town of Superior where police say they were called to the then 13-year-olds home for a report of the teen being uncontrollable and starting a fire.  Police say Peterson had shot at them with a rifle when they arrived.  No officers were struck and managed to take Peterson into custody without returning fire.  Peterson’s next court hearing is scheduled for May 18th for a status check by the judge.  The teen has been charged as an adult.
