Investigators say two Knoxville teenagers hospitalized after a double shooting, are not cooperating with them.
The victims remain in stable condition at UT Medical Center, but police are not releasing their names because they are juveniles.
Both victims have decided not to give statements to police.
Investigators found a handgun at the scene of the shooting. They are waiting for fingerprint results to come back on the gun, to see if they can get some answers about the case.
Meanwhile, officers are still looking for the car that witnesses described as the shooter's vehicle.
Witnesses told investigators the car looked like an old police car and could be a 2000 model.
The vehicle is described as a gray or silver Ford Crown Victoria with tinted windows and black rims.
