Boomer says the boy was dead and the girl was taken to a hospital, where she was in critical condition.
He says the 16-year-old was upset that his sister was having relations with the male victim.
Police say the shooter was out on a weekend pass from the Wichita Children's Home, an emergency, temporary shelter for abused and neglected teens and runaways. The suspect was arrested late Sunday.
