Three 16-year-olds were shot near a North Carolina middle school late Tuesday with authorities spending the night searching for the bodies of two of them.
It all began at around 10:30 p.m. when the parents of the surviving teen transported him to a local hospital with life-threatening gunshot wounds and informed police that two other teens were also shot.
Officers and fire officials launched a search for the two other victims using a drone and cadaver dogs before eventually locating the bodies at around 8 a.m. Wednesday behind Brogden Middle School.
“Based on our preliminary investigation, the shooting does not appear to be random,” Durham police said.
“This is an active investigation and no further details are available at this time.”
Investigators urged anyone with information about the shootings or a suspect to call Investigator J.D. Harris at (919) 560-4440 or CrimeStoppers at (919) 683-1200.
