The 18-year-olds remained jailed Thursday.

He was arrested near Sims and Central, records show.

The other was arrested at Friends University, where he lives, records show. He was arrested on suspicion of criminal discharge of a firearm, criminal possession of a weapon by a felon and possession of stolen property.

Police said the two were arrested in almost simultaneous traffic stops.
