Police have not released any suspect information at this time.

ABC11 spoke with a distraught mom, whose two teenage kids were on the van.

"My oldest daughter jumped from the back seat to the front to try to shield her sister. And it just happened so fast. The girls then called me and told me that they van had been shot up," Camilla Morgan said.

She has kept her kids home from school all week because of the shooting.

"Nobody has reassured us that these kids are going to be safe. My youngest daughter has autism. And she constantly is like, 'Mom I don't want to get on it. I don't want to get on that van, I don't want to get on that van' I don't have anything to reassure them that they're going to be safe," Morgan said.

She said her older child sprained her arm trying protect their sibling. It's in a sling right now and thankfully she is expected to be okay.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call 919-996-1193.
