Two teenagers were killed and two other children, including a baby, were wounded in a shooting at a gas station in Memphis during a violence-filled day in the Tennessee city, police said on Saturday.
The Memphis Police Department responded to the shooting at a Marathon gas station on 3885 Elvis Presley Boulevard around 9.35pm on Friday.
The four victims were reportedly parked inside a red Infiniti vehicle at a gas pump when shots were fired in their direction by suspects inside a 'dark-colored' Nissan.
Two victims, aged 15 and 16, succumbed to their injuries - one of them was pronounced dead at the scene - while another 16-year-old female and a nine-month-old baby boy are recovering in the hospital.
They are in non-critical condition and are expected to recover, police said.

Around 5am on Friday, a store clerk was shot multiple times during a robbery at a Valero gas station, just two miles away from the shooting that left the two teenagers dead.
The suspect allegedly went behind the counter at the gas station on Winchester Road and grew increasingly angry with the clerk because he was moving 'too slow' when the assailant demanded money from the register.
Police said once the register was opened, the suspect shot the clerk, took the money and ran away.
