"Then I heard some woman yelling that 'my sister just got shot,'" said Tyler Dilly, neighborhood resident.

The 29-year-old woman was shot at least once in the neck and the 20-year-old woman was shot in the face. Both were transported in critical condition to St. Francis Hospital, police said.

It is believed the younger woman is a friend of the older woman's. Friends said the older woman lives in the neighborhood with her twin sister and her family.
