Two people have been arrested and charged with murder in connection to a mass shooting at a Sweet 16 party in Alabama that killed four people and wounded dozens more, officials announced Wednesday.
Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, both of Tuskegee, have both been charged with four counts of reckless murder in the Saturday shooting at a Dadeville, Alabama, birthday party that also injured 32, officials said at a press conference.
The teens were arrested Tuesday. Both will get a bond hearing within 72 hours, and the state plans to request no bond, officials said.

District Attorney Mike Segrest said four people who were shot at the party remain in critical condition.
“We’re going to make sure every one of those victims has justice, and not just the deceased,” Segrest said.
Law enforcement officials made the announcement on the steps of the Tallapoosa County Courthouse, which is about a block away from the site of the shooting.
