Despite this, neighbors went on to say that they believe the victims are teenagers.

"When I got off work I seen a group of kids coming up, they got into an altercation, fighting. Next thing you know I see the ambulance, from what I understand one of the kids got stabbed," said Matt Dillon from Darby.

Residents also said the neighborhood is usually quiet.

"I've lived around here 12 years, we never had any problem like this. We are all close together, and this is unacceptable. This is new," said Diane from Darby.
