5 teens shot at 'senior skip day' event | LiveNOW from FOX

Five teenagers were shot in Greenbelt, Maryland after hundreds of students gathered earlier in the afternoon for a senior skip day event.

Police said they were at least 500-600 high schoolers when officers arrived at the park.

Five victims, between the ages of 16 and 18, were found suffering from gunshot wounds. Detectives believe the suspects left the park.

"This is a horrible, tragic, senseless act that happened today," Greenbelt Police Chief Richard Bowers. "There is absolutely no reason that this occurred."
