TULSA, OK -- Two teens suspected of being involved in a pair of east Tulsa shootings Tuesday evening have been arrested.

Tulsa Police say the first shooting was reported in the 100 block of North 120th East Avenue.

By the time officers arrived on scene, they learned a victim had been shot in the leg and taken to a Tulsa hospital by private vehicle.

Police also learned the suspects were chased away from the scene by friends of the victim.  That chase ended in the 11000 block of East 7th Place where more shots were fired.  Police say a second person was hit and transported to a Tulsa hospital by private vehicle.

Police say the second victim identified the person who shot him as a man nicknamed "Buddah."

A description of the two teens was broadcast by police and Tulsa Police's gang unit identified them as 19-year-olds Richard "Buddah" Morales and Jose Garcia-Reyes.  The unit located and arrested both men.

Police say a search of the home where Morales lived turned up marijuana and the guns believed to have been used in the two shootings.

Both men were booked into the Tulsa County jail. 

Garcia-Reyes was arrested for obstruction and possession of marijuana.  Morales was arrested for shooting with intent to kill, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
