Investigators believe it happened around 1:35 p.m. near 65th and Ruby Sunday.

Police say two teenage boys both a 16 and 17-year-old were injured and taken to a local hospital.

"I kinda peaked out and I saw a bunch of kids running on the next block and they were all huddled around screaming and yelling," said Thomas Neal, a neighbor who witnessed the two boys who had been shot.

The 16-year-old boy is in critical condition and the 17-year-old is expected to survive.

"He got shot in the leg and then one got shot in the head," said Neal.
