According to Philadelphia police, the teens were at a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority bus stop in the city on Wednesday when a group of armed individuals exited a nearby car and opened fire on them.

The gunmen fired more than 30 rounds, police said, according to ABC News.

One 17-year-old was in critical condition after being shot nine times, the outlet reported.

A second teen also was hospitalized in critical condition.

The shooting victims were all between 15 and 17, ABC News reported.

According to the clock in a clip the Philadelphia Police Department shared on social media, it only took about 18 seconds for the shooters to exit their vehicle, open fire, run back to their car and take off.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said at a news conference that no passengers aboard the bus required any medical attention and they did not appear to be targeted by gunfire.
