According to the Milwaukee Police Department, the shooting happened just after 10:30 Saturday night on Milwaukee's south side, near 14th and Halsey.
One of the boys was pronounced dead on the scene.
"Seeing that kid laying on the ground, I can't unsee it. It's everything I see when I close my eyes," said Grey McEachern, 17, a girl who tried to save one of the teens.
The other boy was taken to the hospital where he died from his injuries.
"They were younger than me, they still had lives ahead of them, they still had school ahead of them. They didn’t have a job, they had families," said McEachern.
