Other charges include felony discharge of a firearm with bodily injury, felony possession of a firearm, and obstruction of justice.
There is still a chance the 14-year-old could be charged as an adult.

The victims have been identified as 15-year-old Paul Tahi and 14-year-old Tivani Lopati. Both boys were students at Hunter High School. Police have not released further details about the weapon used, or any possible motive yet.
Police said the shooting happened after two groups of students engaged in a fight that turned physical, and deadly.
