In an update Tuesday, police noted "significant developments and new information from interviews, tips and reviews of various video recordings." Police would not elaborate so as to not compromise the investigation.

They said the two victims hospitalized, the 18-year-old man and 49-year-old man, were upgraded to stable condition. Police said they are father and son.

According to police, an investigation revealed the 49-year-old man was actually sleeping upstairs in his apartment when a stray bullet entered, critically wounding him. The son was downstairs in their apartment and a stray bullet grazed his leg.
"It was very disturbing," said Don Buege, neighbor.
As police went door-to-door in the rain on Monday, neighbors tried to grasp what happened Sunday night.
Buege got a text from his wife: "I'm in the basement. Doors are locked. There was a shooting across the street. I heard the shots."
The teens police believe were involved ran away.

"Really concerned for the victims over there and these guys on the run are so young," said Buege. "Terrible tragedy."
Police issued warrants for the two teens wanted for the shooting.
"The fact that they are on the run tells me that they had somewhere to run," said Buege.
Buege said police have been in the neighborhood before but never for anything of this magnitude.
