One man is in critical condition the other in stable condition following a double shooting in Riviera Beach.

Police said the victims were sitting under a carport at a home at 1511 Avenue H when at least one shooter walked up on foot and began shooting.

The shooter then fled the scene on foot.

Police have no information about a suspect at this time. Both victims were transported to St. Mary's hospital via trauma alert. 

Meanwhile neighbors say they are tired of this kind of crime in their neighborhood.

"I really don't know, but I think it is awful. It is sad. I'm afraid to go out at night. I'm 82 years old and sometimes my husband goes out to take out the trash, I say, 'Please look before you go outside,'" says resident Mantee Montgomery.

Police are asking anyone with any information to come forward.
