PHILADELPHIA -

Police have released the photos of the two teens wanted in connection to a SEPTA El shooting.

Eighteen-year-old Matthew Early and his brother, 16-year-old Eric Early, are from the 100 block of South 49th Street.

Police say the brothers face attempted murder and other serious charges.

"Their behavior is clearly out of control and the public should want these people off the streets," Lt. John Walker of the Philadelphia Police Department told FOX 29's Dave Schratwieser.

The two victims, both men in their 30s,  were shot while riding on the train.  The two began their trip at the 15th & Market Station.  While on board an argument broke out between the victims and the two suspects.

Surveillance video released by police on Thursday shows the entire ordeal.

Investigators say that the gunman exited the train at the 46th and Market Street station when the first suspect turned and shot the victims.

Police say both suspects then fled on foot from the El platform in an unknown direction.
