It appeared to be business as usual on Saturday, just a day after the boys were gunned down in front of their downtown high school.

A Chicago shooting killed two teenage students exiting Innovations High School near Washington and Wabash in the Loop Friday, police said.

Many of the bullet-riddled windows have been boarded up following the slaying of 16-year-old Robert Boston and 17-year-old Monterio Williams.

Friends said the boys knew each other and so did their families. Community activist Andrew Holmes said the boys’ mothers are devastated by their loss.

“I talked to her. She’s a very praying woman. She believes in justice, and she believes the Chicago Police Department is going to solve this case,” Holmes said.
