Philadelphia School Shooting - Updates and Corrections
Suspects - update:
-A 15 year-old boy was apprehended on Friday and questioned by police. He was cleared of any involvement and released.
-A 17 year-old boy who police were seeking, based on the gym surveillance video, turned himself in to police on Friday. He has since been released and has not been charged.
-Another 17 year-old boy was then arrested. Police say the video shows that Raisheem Rochwell was responsible for the shooting (his lawyer claims the shooting was not intentional and his client isn't admitting any fault). Rochwell faces two counts of aggravated assault and possession offenses. He is being charged as an adult and held on $500,000 bail.
Victims - corrections:
Previous reports cited the ages of the male and female shooting victims who were each shot in the arm as 15. The girl is actually 18 and she's been released from the hospital. Her boyfriend is the other shooting victims and he's 17 - he's still in the hospital being treated.
Security:
LE and school officials are investigating how the suspect was able to get the gun past the school's metal detectors and into the gym. (Nothing in the latest report about whether LE has located the gun.)
