RALEIGH, N.C. — The teenage suspect in a Raleigh mass shooting is well enough to move from WakeMed to a juvenile detention facility, Raleigh police tell WRAL News.
Austin Thompson, 15, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, including a gunshot wound to the head, on the night of Oct. 13. Since that time, he had been under 24-hour guard.
On Thursday, Thompson was moved from WakeMed to the Wake County Juvenile Detention Center, police said. Another source said he was then transferred to a juvenile detention center with medical facilities outside of the Triangle.
