. . 2 arrested in Tulsa shootings From Susan Candiotti CNN updated 1:21 PM EDT, Sun April 8, 2012 http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/08/us/oklahoma-shootings/ . .Tulsa, Oklahoma (CNN) -- Authorities in Oklahoma arrested two people early Sunday in connection with a deadly spate of apparently random shootings in Tulsa that have had residents on edge.
.About 30 representatives from four law enforcement agencies -- the Tulsa police, Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Marshals Service and the FBI -- had been working around the clock looking for the person that authorities say killed three people and wounded two others in shooting attacks early Friday.
.The police identified the arrested men as Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32. They were taken into custody from a home in Tulsa.
."We're not exactly sure what their relationship is to another, whether they are friends or extended family members," said Capt. Jonathan Brooks.
.The men did not offer any resistance, he said. The pair will be charged with three counts of murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill, the department said.
. Neither has made a public statement. . snip .Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett said the arrests stemmed from a tip called in to the Crimestoppers network, which led to "some phone calls and some observation and several door-knocking opportunities." He said once the media spread the word that tips were needed, "the phone lines really lit up, and it helped tremendously."
."We're very pleased that this is coming to an end, at least this portion of this whole process, but we still have to remember that three of our fellow citizens were killed and their families, on Easter morning, are now having to deal with that," Bartlett said.
.The news undoubtedly comes as a relief to residents, many of whom had changed their daily habits since the shooting.
.Just blocks from where two of the shootings occurred in the predominantly black neighborhoods in north Tulsa, Philip Hargett moved his trash cans from the side of his home to the front so he would never have his back to the street.
."It's going to be a couple of days for all of us to get over this," Hargett told CNN affiliate KOKI in Tulsa on Saturday night.
. His wife, Migdalia, said the shootings "scare the daylights out of me." . . The complete article may be read at the URL above. . .
