Two teenagers were taken to an area hospital after a late-night shooting in south Nashville.

Officials with Metro Nashville Police said the teens got into an argument shortly before midnight Wednesday on 1st Avenue South.

One of them left, retrieved a gun, and started shooting. At that point, the other person also got a gun and returned fire.

Officers later found them about a half-a-mile apart and rushed them to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. One was grazed in the leg, while the other was hit in the back.

Police said the 17-year-old and 19-year-old will both recover. 

Their names were not released. The investigation remained ongoing.
