Thanks to surveillance video two teens were taken into custody after they participated in another school shooting that took place Monday in North Carolina victimizing a 15-year-old girl who was shot in the neck, according to ABC News.

Ta'Von McLaurin, 18, and a 15-year-old who will not be named because of his age, Cumberland County Sheriff Earl "Moose" Butler said Monday evening at a news conference.

Caitlyn Ambercrombie has been stablized after being admitted to a Fayetteville, N.C. hospital and was well enough to answer questions said a spokeswoman from the Sheriff's Office in the county of Cumberland.

Police said, Caitlyn was standing in a breezeway at Cape Fear High School, near the cafeteria, between an assistant principal and a resource officer, when she was hit with the bullet--immediately she dropped to the ground.

No one can pin point exactly where the bullet came from when it hit her at 1:00 p.m.

Cumberland County Schools' Superintendent, Frank Till said it could have been shot from elsewhere outside of the campus.

Meanwhile, on the very same day two kids, who had also been hit by stray bullets, were released from another North Carolina hospital in a different city.

Evertone is responsible for their own choices once they reach the age of accountability.I hate hearing the excuse of the movie made me do it,or the music,or the book i read.BUT..... as a father of 3 boys and 1 girl,I take note more and more lately of how impressionable people are,especially kids.Anyone who doesnt think so,I challenge you to sit down and watch a UFC fight(which I love)with 3 boys,and see how long it takes for them to turn into 3 Bruce Lees.It's not hard to believe that this type of violence is becoming commonplace when you take into account the violence that our kids see and hear all day everyday,from news to music,cartoons and video games.Is anyone shocked any more when they hear about another school shooting?

Thank you for the news report. It is getting more dangerous to even go to school nowadays with these shootings.

It's no wonder that so many families are choosing home schooling these days. It shouldn't have to be scary to go to school. Nothing like this happened when I was in school, the only thing we had were hall monitors.
