Two teenage boys have been charged with murder after the shooting at a 16th birthday party in Alabama that killed four and injured 32 over the weekend.

Police say brothers Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, were arrested on Tuesday night.

Authorities say the suspects are each being charged with four counts of reckless murder and that more charges are expected.

A prosecutor said the suspects would be charged as adults.

Police say that among the 32 people injured, four are still in the hospital and four remain in critical condition.

Officials said the two suspects are from Tuskegee, Alabama which is about a 40 minute drive from Dadeville.
