The circumstances leading up to the shooting are under investigation, police said.
"We're tired of seeing our children's lives snuffed away from them," said Leslie Brand, witness. "It's too early, too soon. They haven't had a chance to live and experience life, and they need that."
An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday.
