     The two were transported to McAllen area hospitals last night and underwent surgery. One of the students was shot in the back, he had the bullet embedded in one of his organs, but the doctor's were able to remove it. THe other was shot below the armpit. TOnight both are expected to make a full recovery.
    As far as the investigation, three people were taken into custody Monday night. Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino says two of them gave statements saying they were target practicing on nearby land which is used as a deer lease. As for the third person, Sheriff Trevino says he's being accused of trespassing and is still in custody. The sheriff's office placed an immigration detainer on him because he is in the country illegaly.
    Investigators also found a bullet at the scene. They will do a ballistic comparison to see if they have a match with any of these three men.
     Sheriff Trevino also added that it's possible that there will not be any criminal charges filed because it was not an intentional crime.
