The victims, reportedly juveniles, were transported for hospital treatment in unknown condition.
Police were tight-lipped regarding their investigation, declining to release details or confirm a Fox 11 report that a 12-year-old boy had died at a hospital. Family members identified the fatally wounded boy as Eric Gregory Brown, Fox 11 reported.
Information was not immediately available on the condition of the other victim.
``It's kind of crazy. I just heard the shots and five minutes later, the whole block was blocked off," a neighbor who wished to remain anonymous told FOX 11.
Neighbors told the station investigators were conducting door knocks and canvassing home surveillance cameras to help identify the suspect's vehicle.
