TAMPA - Two Tampa teenagers were hit by bullets Saturday afternoon at a local flea market after an argument escalated into a drive-by shooting, police said.
About 5 p.m., Jonathan A. Quinones, 17, and Alexis O. Cruz, 19, were at the Magic Mall Flea Market at 8330 N Florida Ave. when they got into an argument with two other men, police said.
A short time later, Quinones and Cruz were standing outside when the two men they had argued with drove by in a gray vehicle and shot at them two or three times, police said.
Quinones was shot in the upper right leg, and Cruz was grazed by a bullet on his right side, police said. They both were treated and released from St. Joseph's Hospital.
Police were still searching Saturday night for the men who shot them.
