The 17-year-old was shot in the head and is listed in critical condition at a local hospital. The 16-year-old was shot in the back and is stable.
Witnesses described a frantic scene.
"We heard like three shots. We were having dinner right down the block and I saw who I assume was the person who fired the shots round the corner and speed down on 117th," Amanda D'Archangelis said.
Police said a person of interest was taken into custody.
