Jacob Carl England, 19, and Alvin Lee Watts, 33, have each been charged with three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of shooting with intent to kill and five counts of malicious intimidation or harassment.

Three people were killed and two others wounded in the April 6, 2012 shooting spree.
