Following the shooting at a 16th birthday celebration in Alabama over the weekend that left four people dead and 32 injured, two teenage males have been charged with murder.
According to the police, Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, were detained on Tuesday night.
Four counts of reckless murder have been brought against each defendant, according to the authorities, and additional charges are anticipated.
The suspects would face adult-level charges, according to a prosecutor.
Officials gave relatively little details at a press briefing on Wednesday, saying that the investigation into the shooting on Saturday in Dadeville was only getting started. There was no mention of a motivation or the kind of weapon used.
Four of the 32 injured people are still being treated at hospitals, and four of them are currently in serious condition, according to the police.
“We are going to make sure everyone of those victims has justice and not just the deceased,” Sergeant Jeremy Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said.
The agency added: ” These individuals have been charged after a complex and thorough investigation was conducted with assistance from a multitude of law enforcement agencies.”
Until Wednesday, police had offered few details since the shooting on any suspects in the case.
The deceased victims have been identified as Marsiah Collins, 19; Phil Dowdell, 18; Corbin Holston, 23; and Shaunkivia Smith, 17.
Mr Dowdell died trying to save his sister Alexis, his family has said. He was a star athlete on his high school’s American football team and had been due to graduate to go to Jacksonville State University on a sports scholarship.
One of his friends and school football teammate told the BBC: “Phil to me was an amazing friend. God’s got an angel.”
There were about 50 people at the party, which was held at a local dance studio.
Dadeville, a town of roughly 3,000 residents, is about 60 miles (100 km) northeast of the state capital of Montgomery.
