   PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Two students were shot and wounded on   
   Friday at a charter high school in northern Philadelphia, police   
   said, in the latest string of school shootings that have helped   
   fuel a national debate over gun laws.   
      
   A teenaged girl and a boy were shot in their arms at the   
   Delaware Valley Charter High School at about 3:30 p.m. when a   
   young male pulled a handgun in a gymnasium with about seven   
   students in it, officials and media reports said.   
      
   Police said the young man who fired the gun was part of the   
   group, CNN reported. The shooting may have been an accident,   
   police said.   
      
   The injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, according   
   to Philadelphia Police spokeswoman Christine O'Brien.   
      
   "Initially, he was thought to be the shooter, but investigators   
   were able to determine the kid was not a shooter, Stanford said.   
   "He was there but I don't believe he was involved."   
      
   Another boy turned himself in and was being interviewed by   
   police late Friday night, Stanford said. A third boy was also   
   supposed to turn himself in, but had not yet done so.   
      
   Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey told reporters   
   Friday evening they were still investigating the motive. The   
   afternoon shooting at the Delaware Valley Charter High School   
   was caught on video, he said.   
      
   Earlier, police used Twitter to urge the suspected shooter to   
   surrender.   
      
   "SHOOTER - Turn yourself in. Get it over with now," they said.   
      
   The wounded students were listed in stable condition at a local   
   hospital, local television station 6 ABC said.   
      
   In another shooting incident on Friday, a 16-year-old student   
   was shot in the arm, apparently by a student with whom he had a   
   dispute, as he walked away from Albany High School, about 165   
   miles south of Atlanta, WALB-TV reported.   
      
   The incident follows a shooting on Tuesday at a New Mexico   
   middle school, where a 12-year-old boy is accused of opening   
   fire with a shotgun and seriously wounding two students.   
      
   In October, a 12-year-old boy in Sparks, Nevada, opened fire at   
   his school, killing a teacher and wounding two students before   
   killing himself.   
      
   The shootings come amid a contentious national debate on gun   
   control that intensified after a young gunman killed 26 people   
   at an elementary school in Connecticut in December 2012.
