— Two 15-year-old boys were arrested late Sunday following a shooting at a Sanford home.

According to police, shots were fired at a home on McIver Street near Seventh Street before 11 p.m. Sanford police responded to the home and found a 17-year-old suffering from gunshot wounds. He was airlifted to Duke University Hospital, where he was stable on Monday.

An application for a warrant to search 421 McIver St. identified the teen as Jami Raiziah Griffin, and he told police that he saw "two guys, one with a rifle and one with a handgun" and heard multiple shots. He "took off running" and then realized he had been hit, according to the warrant application.

As police were speaking with a woman at the front door of the McIver Street house, someone "came from behind the house and grabbed a rifle that was sitting beside the residence" and ran through some nearby woods, the warrant application states. Police later apprehended a juvenile with a rifle.

Video captured by WRAL News showed several people walking out the front door with their hands in the air. The officers asked the group to lie down on the ground.

At least three men and one woman were detained.

The two 15-year-olds were charged on juvenile petitions with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. They were in custody of the state Department of Public Safety.

Investigators had tape up around the house and several homes surrounding it.

Resident Tasha Bunyon said she heard the shooting and initially thought someone was setting off fireworks. Gunshots are not uncommon in her neighborhood, she said.

"A lot of people have gotten killed and died. We lost a lot of good people. A lot of violence and stuff now," Bunyon said. "It's nerve-wracking when you're just sitting in your house and you hear shooting everywhere."

Another neighbor who heard the gunshots was too afraid of retaliation to give her name. She likewise said violence has become the norm for the neighborhood.

"I have heard gunshots before in this same community. I have even called the officers," the woman said, adding that she wants to move.

Sanford police said they have responded to about 75 calls in the neighborhood in the past year, but most of them were traffic stops, not violent crime.
