Officers were called to the 1800 block of George Avenue regarding a shooting call at 12:50 a.m. and found the two 17-year-old boys suffering from gunshot wounds.
"The fact that they are young - 17 years old. That's an adult. You're right at that age, and it's a shame that it has to happen to anybody," Lt. Lowell Neinast with Richmond PD said.

One of the victims was found in a ditch, and the other was lying in the street, police said.
It is unclear what led up to the shootings, police said, as the suspect was seen leaving the area in a black four-door SUV.
Officials did not provide suspect descriptions.
Officials said one of the boys was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital, while the other was taken to Ben Taub via ambulance.

Both are expected to survive.
One neighborhood resident spoke with ABC13 and said he was concerned about his family's safety.
"What makes me really nervous is that I have a little sister. She's still in school. She's innocent. My mom works. She's doing her own thing. My dad works too. I'm worried about my people. Everybody on this street. I've known them for over 10 years. This is my family. This is our street," Ricardo Rodriguez said.
Police said two guns were found at the scene, but it is unclear who the firearms belong to.
If anyone has information about the suspect(s) involved in this case or any details surrounding it, they are asked to call the Richmond Police Department at 281-342-2849.
