The Adair County Community Voice reports that Tuesday night on Kentucky 704 near Columbia, a deputy tried to stop a vehicle matching the description of one from a shots fired call.

That’s when two men got out and ran, but were quickly captured by authorities.

The men arrested were 32-year-old Alexander Hamilton and 19-year-old Joseph Clark.

Both were wanted in relation to a shooting in Kingsport, Tenn. on Monday, that left a man and a woman dead.

They face a number of charges, including murder once they’re returned to Tennessee.
