leaderboard at the masters. there is not a tiger in sight. this easter sunday we'll be talking to the co-founder of the saddleback church, and we'll take you live to the vatican. now let's get you to a story that you have heard here first. the multiple shootings in tulsa, oklahoma, while you were sleeping. oklahoma police, the fbi, and u.s. marshalls were very busy, and that hard work paid off with two arrests that were coming less than an hour ago to us re right here. a reminder three people were killed and two people were injured in a series of shootings early friday. joining me now on the phone is captain jonathan brooks from the tulsa police department. captain brooks, good morning to you. well, what can you tell us about the arrest? you've had a busy night. how did you track these guys down? >> yes, it has been a very busy night. it took a lot of work, a lot of collaboration between several different agencies, and quite frankly, a lot of help from the community helped to solve this crime. >> who do you have in custody? >> we have two subjects in custody right now. we have alvin watts, a 32-year-old white male and jake england, a 19-year-old white male that are now in our custody. >> and what led them to you? how were you able to get them? >> well, it was through the work and investigation of our detectives and agents and deputies and through the tip line that we set up, tips that the community provided to us and the information that was provided to us all collaboration and led us to the successful arrest of these two individuals. >> and have you also recovered the white pickup truck which was seen as three of the four shooting sites? >> yes. we have -- we've recovered the truck, and now we're in the process of recovering additional evidence that was used in these crimes. >> are the suspects talking? have they made any statement at all in. >> actually, they're -- right now they're still being interviewed by our defectives. >> have you said anything yet that you can share with us? >> there's nothing i can share at this point in time. >> and where were they arrested? >> they were arrested in tulsa from a single family dwelling. >> were they living together? were they in the same place when they were arrested? >> yes. they were in the same place, and, you know, we're not exactly sure of what their relationship is to one another. whether they're just friends or extended family members. those are just some of the things that we're trying to get out of the investigation as well, quite frankly, as the real thing is we want to know what the motives are. >> what about weapons? were you able to recover any weapons? >> we're in the process of now -- now that we've apprehended the suspects, now that we're into the evidence recovery mode. >> what does that mean? >> as our chief said, we're coming for you. we've done that, and now we'll gather the evidence along that trail. >> can you tell us, though, at this hour if any guns have been recovered? >> no, we have not recovered any guns at this particular moment. >> do we know if both of them were in the pickup truck? were you able to determine that yet? >> that's where the investigation has led us to believe that both of them were in the truck at the same time. >> and do you know if any of them knew any of the victims? >> we don't know that. >> and so the status of them right now is that they are being interviewed right now. they're in the interrogation room. how long will something like that tea, and when do you think you meet have more answers? >> each one is different, so it can take -- it can be rather lengthy, but we thought it was important to get the word out early to the community for when the citizens wake up -- in tulsa wake up this easter morning and know that tulsa is just a little bit safer place, that we've removed these two individuals from the community. >> just very quickly, i understand that all of the victims in this case, as we first told our viewers yesterday, all of the victims in this case are african-american, and the two men that you have in custody are, indeed, white. are you still looking at this as a possible hate crime. >> yes. and that's -- that's where we get into trying to determine what the motive was for the acts and the crimes that they committed. if our investigation takes us towards that, then we'll proceed with that. >> do you have witnesses as well that you are still speaking with? >> yes, there are witnesses. we've spoken with certain witnesses. we've re-interviewed witnesses, and we're still looking at following up with other witnesses. >> captain jonathan brooks, i know you've had a long fight. we certainly appreciate you talking with us this morning. >> well, thank you. have a good morning. >> you too as well. we'll have much more on this developing story throughout the morning here on cnn. well, happy easttory all of you celebrating. pope benedict xvi is marking the holiday at st. peter's bat i will ka with the traditional message. that means to the city and the world. earlier the pope resided over easter mass in the basilica. krurnz around the world celebrate easter as the day that their lord and savior jesus christ rose from the dead after his crucifixion. a landmark deal being signed today will change the way the u.s. military operates in afghanistan. the agreement will mean the end to night raids by u.s. special forsdz troops. they will now be carried out by afghan troops. night raids had sparked particularly harsh anger among afghans. we'll have much more on what this means later in the show. rescue crews are close to reaching nine mineors trapped underground in peru. they've been down there since thursday. rescuers were just six feet away from them last night. the fear of landslides has slowed that operation down. they've been talking with the minors, though, through a hose. the syrian military keeping up its onslaught against rebel fighters and civilians just two days before the cease-fire deadline. on tuesday a cease-fire agreement is supposed to take effect in syria, but the syrian government is now demanding a written guarantee from the opposition, and they will stand down. i can say more than 120 people were killed across the country on saturday, including five children. all seven of the people injured when a navy jet crashed into an apartment building in virginia beach are now out of the hospital and in good shape. a top admiral says the navy who examined the crash and fixed whatever went wrong calls it a miracle that no one died. a fund has been set up for the family. >> if you think paying nearly $had a gallon for gas is outrageous well, trying living on catalina island off the california coast. no doubt, it is a beautiful place. no question. beaches, sunshine, but $7 a gallon gasoline. yes. $7. there really is only one gas station. they bring in the gas by barge. there are only a few thousand residents, and many don't have cars, and now we know why. ride your bike there on that island. all right. time now to say good-bye to meteorologist reynolds wolf. wouldn't you get a bicycle if you lived there?
