A Shooting

In Winston-Salem, North Carolina two teens were arrested on Wednesday after a handgun was found in their possession on the campus of a North Carolina high school. Deputies became suspicious after seeing the two boys Canaan Maliek Wynder, 19, and Tristen Gibbs, 18, and arrested them. The two were charged with the possession of a firearm on school property. Canaan told the police that they had been dropping off his girlfriend. Both of the boys were graduates of Cape Fear High School in Fayetteville, N.C. Police say that the school remains secure and that no one is in danger. This was only two days after two other teens were arrested for having a rifle on campus and shooting a 15 year-old-girl in the neck. Authorities do not think that they intended to shoot the girl, only that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The girl was in stable condition at the hospital as of Monday night, with a bullet lodged in her neck. On Tuesday, her condition changed to critical and she was put on a ventilator. The shooter, a 15 year-old, was charge with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. His partner, 18 year-old Ta'Von McLaurin, was arrested on a felony aid and abetting charge. Authorities think that the shooting was possibly gang related. The high school reopened on Tuesday, but fewer than half of the 1,500 students attended.

It is really sad and terrible, what happened. If I had children, it would make me not want to send them to school.
