(RTTNews) -  Two unidentified gunmen opened fire on a group of teenagers near a bus stop on Detroit's west side Tuesday afternoon, wounding seven of them, police said.

The victims were four boys and three girls between the ages of 14 and 17, three of whom are in critical condition, Detroit, Michigan, police spokesman Dan Donakowski said. Five were summer school students at the school. Police say they have ascertained a motive for the crime.

Two unknown males, with their shirts pulled over their heads, approached a group of persons at the bus stop and fired about 15 rounds before running away, possibly in a green minivan, he said.

The 2:30 pm (1830 GMT) shooting happened about a mile from Cody High School shortly after summer school let out for the day in a neighborhood known for its high level gang activity.
A local newspaper reported people in the area said the shooting was related to an argument Monday at Cody Ninth Grade Academy. However, the school's principal Jonathan Matthews said there were no problems earlier in the day. "Today was a normal day at school. There was nothing that happened (out of the ordinary)," Matthews said.

Bria Wilson, 15, heard some guys yell "There they go," right before the shots were fired and said everyone who was not hit ran away. She said her 16-year-old friend was shot four times.

B&B Shell gas station owner Steve Hakim said he saw the two young men run across his property with their shirts pulled over their heads, then firing at the students. The victims, he said, "just collapsed; fell down." It was pretty scary, he added.
