The brothers were taken to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Police found a gun near the boys’ bodies and a second gun nearby.

The third teen, whose identity police withheld because of his age, was taken from the scene in a vehicle was stopped by police before he was taken to a hospital. Cook said the teen faces a murder charge when he is discharged from the hospital.
