West Goshen, PA- Authorities have announced the arrest of two additional suspects in relation to the October 19th Wawa shooting in West Goshen Township. Zubair Bethea, 20, and Omar Beard, 31, both from Chester, Pennsylvania, were detained on Monday in Delaware County.

Both suspects were arraigned by Magisterial District Judges, each receiving a bail set at $500,000, and were subsequently placed in Chester County Prison.
The incident, occurring at approximately 2:03 p.m. on October 19, involved reports of individuals fighting and shooting at each other in a parking area shared by a Wawa store and TD Bank.
