Two men were arrested in connection to a shooting late Saturday that killed two teens and injured two other people outside a house party in Garland, police said.

Garland police responded about 11:45 p.m. to the 800 block of Magnolia Drive, near North Glenbrook Drive and West Walnut Street, where a disturbance on the street escalated to gunfire.

Police said Jose Damian Garcia, 18, of Greenville was pronounced dead by first responders, and a 17-year-old boy from Garland, who was not named, was taken to a hospital and died. Two others injured by gunfire were stable Sunday, according to a news release.
