Police said the third victim had injuries consistent with being physically assaulted.
Witnesses said it was shocking hearing their screams and then seeing these young people so gravely injured.
"We was going to pick up my kids from after school. Me and their mother seen the kid laying on the floor. His shirt was full of blood. He had his shoe a little distance from him covered in blood. He kept trying to get up, we kept telling him to lay down," said David Vasquez, who called police.
"I feel really stressed that this happens near my home. Just 20 meters?" said Hugo Peng, a Northeastern University student.
Police said they do not believe there is a threat to the public.
