Two Turn Themselves In After St. Patrick's Day Fight

During the fight, people at the party held down one of the suspects on the lawn. The second suspect retrieved a long-gun from a vehicle.

They were last seen leaving the area in a dark vehicle. Officers were unable to locate the suspects Saturday.

Three victims were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

On Monday morning, the two suspects arrived at police headquarters downtown and were placed under arrest.

A 19-year-old from Windsor is facing multiple charges including assault with a weapon, mischief, break and enter, pointing a firearm, and uttering threats.

An 18-year-old from Windsor is facing charges of assault, mischief, break and enter, and uttering threats.
