Both teens were taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in stable condition.
The man who fired the shots was allegedly trying to thwart a car theft.
According to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small, the man got a call from a neighbor stating that four juveniles appeared to be breaking into his Honda.
When the man confronted the juveniles, police say one of them pulled out a gun.
"We're not certain right now if that one juvenile who pulled the gun fired any shots. We don't know at this time. That's when the owner of the vehicle pulled his weapon and fired, we believe seven shots, striking the two 13-year-olds," Small said.
