DEEP RUN, N.C. -- A 16-year-old South Lenoir High School student is dead after a shooting in Duplin County.

Now investigators are trying to determine how it happened.

Authorities say Monday night, deputies responded to a call in Deep Run on Bryce Hardison Road.

Officials found Jessica Ramsey was shot in the head.

She was taken to Vidant Medical Center where she died Wednesday.

The Duplin County Sheriff's Office has not said anything about the circumstances of the shooting or if they are looking for a suspect.
