Authorities are investigating the shooting of 2 young males at Harwell Middle School on Carmen Avila road north of Edinburg. Sheriff Lupe Trevino tells us they received an emergency call around 4:45 this afternoon.
Trevino says the 13 and 14 year old boys were at outside the school on the basketball courtyard for try outs when they were shot.
One boy was actually doing a layup while the other one was sitting on the curb waiting for his turn. Authorities believe the suspects responsible could have been hunters from either the north or west pastures of the school.
Harwell Middle School was on lockdown up until a couple of hours ago when police started allowing family members to pick up students and faculty to leave.
A crime scene unit, deputies , state troopers, constables are currently scouring the area.
