> [@Morgyn](#): > > The shooter was another child. That’s not what the article said. From [another article](https://news.yahoo.com/9-kids-injured-shooting-birthday-141323249.html): > Sheriff Mike Tregre said the investigation has been “frustrating” as detectives work to make arrests with no help from anyone who was there. > > “We have not one witness, not one person that saw anything yet. So we’re trying to solve it on our own right now,” Tregre told the newspaper. “I’m going to be polite — it’s more than frustrating.” The injured ranged from 12-to-17 years old. Sounds gang-related. Still absolutely horrible. ---
