A 3-year-old boy was killed and his 4-year-old sister was injured after nearly 150 shots were fired into a North Carolina home, authorities say.
However, investigators said they believe the suspected shooters could be teenage students connected to high schools in the area. It was not clear Thursday how authorities reached that conclusion.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools officials, who did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment Thursday, told WCNC that the district was working on intervention programs. "Recent acts of violence involving and directed toward students assigned to attend Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools indicate a significant problem in our community," the school said in a statement."These horrific acts are another terrible reminder of how disruptions in lives have caused pain for many families here, including for many CMS students. Violence resulting in death is a result of that pain.
"It just makes no sense that you can have such disregard for human life and not hold yourselves accountable for that," he said.
