Police were called at about 22:00 BST on 2 April to Markhouse Road, E17, to reports of shots fired.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service found two teenage boys, aged 16 and 15, injured.
They were both taken to an east London hospital where The 15-year-old was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Det Ch Insp Gary Holmes said: "Someone out there knows who committed this terrible crime.
