Two boys were fatally shot while sitting in a van outside an elementary school early Saturday morning in California, police said.

The shootings of the boys, ages 11 and 14, took place in the parking lot of Searles Elementary School, the East Bay Times reported.

Callers to 911 reported hearing gunfire at 1.26 am and officers found the boys when they arrived, Union City Police Department said in a statement.

The older boy died at the scene, and the younger child died en route to a trauma center. Both of them were discovered in a parked minivan, ABC7 reported.

New Haven Unified School District Superintendent John Thompson said in a statement that the victims were minors. The boys attended schools in the district, Thompson and a district spokesman said.

No arrests have been made in connection with the killings.Police Lt. Steve Mendez said there was no sign of a connection between the shooting and the school where it took place.

People occasionally gather in the relatively secluded parking lot, Mendez told the Times. '(The school) happened to be where it took place,' Mendez said.

These boys were targeted, someone knew they were there and killed them for whatever reason makes sense to killers. And yeah, 11 and 14yo boys out at 1:30am, does not sound like they had any family that worried about where they were.

Authorities in California announced Friday that they had arrested two teenagers in connection with the murder of two juvenile boys who were viciously gunned down while sitting in a van outside of an elementary school this past November.

State Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced that 18-year-old Jason Cornejo, 18, of Castro Valley, and a 17-year-old boy had been charged by the Alameda County District Attorney with the murders of Sean Withington, 14, and Kevin Hernandez, 11.

Withington and Hernandez were sitting in a van outside Searles Elementary School when a gunman opened fire. Residents called 911 after hearing the shots ring out around 1:30 a.m. Police arrived and pronounced Withington dead at the scene, while Hernandez perished en route to the hospital.

Both suspects were already in custody on unrelated charges when authorities tied them to the double shooting.

Authorities said the defendants were acting in connection with a street gang -- a theory law enforcement was considering shortly after the killing. They did not, however, go into detail on who may have ordered the hit or what the motive was behind the killing.

So its starting to look as if the 11 and 14 year olds were gang members and out driving the van themselves.

I cant seem to feel much emotion about this case.
