Two arrested in Churchville double shooting

The Sheriff's Office received a call at 10:35 p.m. about a shooting near the intersection of Buffalo Gap Highway and Churchville Avenue.

The police went to the scene, where they found the two girls, aged 17 and 19, shot to death. The Churchville Rescue Squad took the two to Augusta Health in Fishersville, where they were listed in critical condition, the sheriff's office said Sunday. A second press release indicates that their situation has stabilized.

Both victims were shot in the legs.

Evidence was collected at the scene and the suspects were identified as Isaiah J. Cassell, 21, of Mount Solon, and Matthew T. Cassell, 20, of West Augusta, according to a second news release. The suspects were seen leaving the scene in a black Ford Mustang. Augusta County Sheriff Donald Smith said the suspects were cousins.
