        I know they are 14 and 16, but this is not normal and they should be placed in prison and get serious mental therapy. How long is up to the judge. Decades for sure.

        Violent crimes like this should be tried in Juvenile court, but the punishment upon conviction should be like an adult. This car jacking and shooting people in public should all be treated very harshly.
