Updated at 6:11 a.m. ET: TULSA, Okla. -- Two men were arrested early Sunday in connection with a Good Friday shooting spree in Tulsa's predominantly black north side that left three people dead and two others wounded.

Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32, will be charged with three counts of murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill, the Tulsa Police Department said. Police identified both suspects as white males.

They were arrested at 1:47 a.m. local time, authorities said.

"Our sympathy goes out to the families of the victims and we hope that our efforts can bring some resolution and closure to these heinous acts," the Tulsa Police Department said in a statement.
