Police say two neighbors began arguing in the 100 block of Holly, which is off Southwest 19th street not far from Our Lady of the Lake University, about 11:30 Wednesday night.
As the argument heated up, police say two other neighbors emerged with guns and opened fire on the crowd that had gathered for the original argument.
Two teenagers were shot multiple times and were rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
