Armed and dangerous 17-year-old at large after Benson triple shooting that injured 15-year-old football star

BENSON, N.C. (WTVD) -- A 17-year-old Harnett County teen is at large and considered armed and dangerous, wanted in a shooting that injured three people -- including a 15-year-old high school football player.

Lamont Moore is charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

He's accused of being the shooter responsible for a weekend shooting in Benson that injured three people including a 15-year-old football star who had recently become a father.

The teen's family said someone just walked up and started shooting, hitting 15-year-old CJ Redmond, who was an innocent bystander.

Benson Police Department said Moore could still face more charges. The department also said other suspects could be involved in the shooting.
