Waller and Prevo were each charged with two counts of second-degree attempted murder and were being held Tuesday morning without bond.

“That was good investigative work by the police to arrest somebody that quickly,” said District Attorney Michael Jackson.

Selma Police Department Lt. Sam Miller said one victim, a 32-year-old man, is still hospitalized and has been upgraded to critical but stable condition. He was shot multiple times in the torso.

The second victim, a 42-year-old man, has been released and is being treated for multiple gunshot wounds to his left arm and left leg.

Both suspects will appear in court for a preliminary hearing Thursday. Miller said investigators continue to work leads in the case and additional arrests are possible.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-442-7463.
