Police say two teens who died in shootings just days apart should have been in their high school classes this week, but they weren’t due to gun violence.
The two teens, both 17 years old, died in shootings that happened Friday and Sunday in Dayton.
A good Samaritan called dispatchers Sunday night after spotting trouble near N. Woodward and Krammer Avenues.
“I seen him hanging out of the car. He’s like, ‘Can you please help me? Can you please help me?’ And I rolled down the window and he said, ‘They tried to rob me and shot and I grabbed the gun,’’ the 911 caller said.

Detectives said they’re still working out the exact circumstances there that led to the death of DeAndre Ferguson.
That shooting came just 48 hours after Dreshun Fox-Bolds died after being shot on Cambridge Avenue.
911 callers reported that the teen stepped out of a car, reported being shot, and pleaded for help but emergency responders could not save his life.
