The two victims were hospitalized and are expected to survive, a spokesperson for the Long Beach Police Department said.
The teens told investigators that they were standing in the 1600 block of East 14 street shortly about 6:30 a.m. when a vehicle pulled up and an unknown number of occupants opened fire, police said. The vehicle fled the scene before officers arrived.
Long Beach firefighter-paramedics transported the victims to medical centers.
Detectives with the Police Department's Gang Enforcement Section responded to the scene, where officers found bullet casings and discovered that a multi-unit residence was struck by gunfire.
The motive for the shooting was unknown.
Descriptions of the suspects and the vehicle were not immediately available.
