On Monday, the same day students at Northeast High School returned to classes, officials said they have made two arrests in the March 6 shooting at a SEPTA bus stop. Both suspects have been charged.

Ahnile Buggs and Jamaal Tucker have been arrested and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, firearms charges, reckless endangerment and related charges, according to the District Attorney Larry Krasner. They are being held on more than $2 million bail.

Tucker, 18, turned himself in on Friday after police obtained a search warrant, said Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore at a news conference on Monday.

US Marshals arrested Buggs, 18, early Saturday after another search warrant was issued. When Marshals arrested Buggs they found a .40-caliber Glock 22 pistol with an extended magazine that was fully loaded and had laser sights on it—a Glock switch—that made it fully automatic. It matched casings found at the scene, police said.

Preliminary hearings are scheduled March 20 for both. NBC10 has reached out to the public defender's office for both men and they declined to comment at this time.
