A pair of teenage girls drowned in the waters off Coney Island on Friday night, according to cops.
The two girls, 17 and 18, went missing in the water around 8:10 p.m. near Stillwell Avenue in Brooklyn before they were found on the shoreline at 9:15 p.m., police said.
Both victims were taken to Coney Island Hospital where they were pronounced dead, the NYPD said.

Cops initially received information about a 24-year-old man who was also missing in the water, but that report was later unfounded.
The tragic deaths come a week after two teenage boys were swept away off of Jacob Riis Park in the Rockaways, Queens and later found dead.
