The victims who died have been identified as 18-year-old Stef'an Strawder and 14-year-old Sean Archilles.

UPDATE: 2:30 p.m. - Fort Myers Interim Police Chief Dennis Eads said they have three persons of interest in custody and are still searching for more. Eads said the shooting was not an act of terror.

Strawder would have been a senior at Lehigh Senior High School. He played basketball for the school.

Family members said Strawder was shot in the abdomen and had to undergo emergency surgery. We're told Strawder's younger sister was also shot in the leg.

Archilles would have been an eighth grader at Royal Palm Exceptional Center, according to the school district.

At least 100 evidence markers have been placed on the ground. It is unclear if all of those are guarding shell casings. We are told some of those casings are as long as a finger.

There is a blue van with shattered windows at the scene.
