20-year-old Regis J. Boudinot of McLean was shot in the hand. The third student wasn't injured.

"There has been extensive damage done to his right hand, and part of at least one finger is missing," Boudinot's stepmother, Kimberly Boudinot, wrote in a Facebook wall post. "The surgeon tried to fill in the missing tissue. All nerves and tendons/etc. seem to be intact, but will require a lot of therapy to heal."

Cynthia Roberson, the Boudinots' longtime neighbor in McLean, says she was shocked to learn the news.

"He's a wonderful boy and it's very sad it happened to him," Roberson said. "That's very hard to cope with now, that he has to live with that," Roberson said.

"He will need a lot of support from everybody to get through it," she added
