you've had a busy night. how did you track these guys down? >> yes, it has been a very busy night. it took a lot of work, a lot of collaboration between several different agencies, and quite frankly, a lot of help from the community helped to solve this crime. >> who do you have in custody? >> we have two subjects in custody right now. we have alvin watts, a 32-year-old white male and jake england, a 19-year-old white male that are now in our custody. >> and what led them to you? how were you able to get them? >> well, it was through the work and investigation of our detectives and agents and deputies and through the tip line that we set up, tips that the community provided to us and the information that was provided to us all collaboration and led us to the successful arrest of these two individuals. >> and have you also recovered the white pickup truck which was seen as three of the four shooting sites? >> yes. we have -- we've recovered the truck, and now we're in the process of recovering additional evidence that was used in these crimes. >> are the suspects talking? have they made any statement at all in. >> actually, they're -- right now they're still being interviewed by our defectives. >> have you said anything yet that you can share with us? >> there's nothing i can share at this point in time. >> and where were they arrested? >> they were arrested in tulsa from a single family dwelling. >> were they living together? were they in the same place when they were arrested? >> yes. they were in the same place, and, you know, we're not exactly sure of what their relationship is to one another. whether they're just friends or extended family members. those are just some of the things that we're trying to get out of the investigation as well, quite frankly, as the real thing is we want to know what the motives are. >> what about weapons? were you able to recover any weapons? >> we're in the process of now -- now that we've apprehended the suspects, now that we're into the evidence recovery mode. >> what does that mean? >> as our chief said, we're coming for you. we've done that, and now we'll gather the evidence along that trail. >> can you tell us, though, at this hour if any guns have been recovered? >> no, we have not recovered any guns at this particular moment. >> do we know if both of them were in the pickup truck? were you able to determine that yet? >> that's where the investigation has led us to believe that both of them were in the truck at the same time. >> and do you know if any of them knew any of the victims? >> we don't know that. >> and so the status of them right now is that they are being interviewed right now. they're in the interrogation room. how long will something like that tea, and when do you think you meet have more answers? >> each one is different, so it can take -- it can be rather lengthy, but we thought it was important to get the word out early to the community for when the citizens wake up -- in tulsa wake up this easter morning and know that tulsa is just a little bit safer place, that we've removed these two individuals from the community. >> just very quickly, i understand that all of the victims in this case, as we first told our viewers yesterday, all of the victims in this case are african-american, and the two men that you have in custody are, indeed, white. are you still looking at this as a possible hate crime. >> yes. and that's -- that's where we get into trying to determine what the motive was for the acts and the crimes that they committed. if our investigation takes us towards that, then we'll proceed with that. >> do you have witnesses as well that you are still speaking with? >> yes, there are witnesses. we've spoken with certain witnesses. we've re-interviewed witnesses, and we're still looking at following up with other witnesses. >> captain jonathan brooks, i know you've had a long fight. we certainly appreciate you talking with us this morning. >> well, thank you. have a good morning. >> you too as well. we'll have much more on this developing story throughout the morning here on cnn. well, happy easttory all of you celebrating. pope benedict xvi is marking the holiday at st. peter's bat i will ka with the traditional message. that means to the city and the world. earlier the pope resided over easter mass in the basilica. krurnz around the world celebrate easter as the day that their lord and savior jesus christ rose from the dead after his crucifixion. a landmark deal being signed today will change the way the u.s. military operates in afghanistan. the agreement will mean the end to night raids by u.s. special forsdz troops. they will now be carried out by afghan troops. night raids had sparked particularly harsh anger among afghans. we'll have much more on what this means later in the show. rescue crews are close to reaching nine mineors trapped underground in peru. they've been down there since thursday. rescuers were just six feet away from them last night. the fear of landslides has slowed that operation down. they've been talking with the minors, though, through a hose. the syrian military keeping up its onslaught against rebel fighters and civilians just two days before the cease-fire deadline. on tuesday a cease-fire agreement is supposed to take effect in syria, but the syrian government is now demanding a written guarantee from the opposition, and they will stand down. i can say more than 120 people were killed across the country on saturday, including five children. all seven of the people injured when a navy jet crashed into an apartment building in virginia beach are now out of the hospital and in good shape. a top admiral says the navy who examined the crash and fixed whatever went wrong calls it a miracle that no one died. a fund has been set up for the family. >> if you think paying nearly $had a gallon for gas is outrageous well, trying living on catalina island off the california coast. no doubt, it is a beautiful place. no question. beaches, sunshine, but $7 a gallon gasoline. yes. $7. there really is only one gas station. they bring in the gas by barge. there are only a few thousand residents, and many don't have cars, and now we know why. ride your bike there on that island. all right. time now to say good-bye to meteorologist reynolds wolf. wouldn't you get a bicycle if you lived there?

how do they separate themselves from very frightening situation? >> they have some downtime where they're able dog and relax, and it might be just that handler having time with the dog, petting it, playing with it a bit more, and then they go out and do the mission again. it becomes routine, and it becomes something that the dog looks forward to. >> reporter: staff sergeant foreman is relying on that relationship. >> out. sit. stay. >> reporter: they'll head overseas in a matter of days. >> reporter: do you feel confident when you're deployed having this guy with you? >> i feel very confident having him by my side overseas. we're go ahead to go. >> how could you not feel confident, right, with that guy? >> that's impressive. >> you have an airman in the family? >> my grandfather on my mom's side. my grandfather wolf. actually, my grandfather reynolds. that was a picture taken of him in 1943 off the mississippi coast. the dogs they train there were sent to the south pacific. this individual dog he has here is a collie, and it was actually sent to booingen ville. a lot of these dogs were to detect enemy forces and detect mines, a variety of roles, roles that they're used for well today. >> they're out there saving lives like the troops themselves. it's incredible work. >> he was able to actually adopt several of the dogs, and a great thing we have now is many of the soldiers when they return from theater will adopt the dogs they handle. it's an mazing thing. their relationship continues after they have served. >> great bond. >> all right, reynolds. thank you so much for bringing us. i know you did a great job with alicia aiken as well. >> the countdown -- the syrian government wants more. ivan watson is next with these new demands. the syrian military is not backing down to rebel fighters and civilians. just two days before the cease-fire agreement is supposed to go into effect, new reports say the syrian government will not pull back without written guarantees from armed groups. ivan watson is live in turkey for us watching this. ivan, who would represent the opposition and give them -- give the regime this written guarantee? >> well, presumably, that might be the opposition syria national council, which has offices here in turkey and which was recognized by a group of more than 80 countries and international organizations at a friends of syria meeting here last week as, a, legitimate representative of the syrian people by critics of the syrian government. now, these new demands have just come out, randy, from the syrian foreign monday industry spokesman, and he actually even tweeted it just moments ago saying, "syria has a plan for military pullbacks already in place and being impolicemen mremted, but completing and achieving the main goal would definitely require guarantees from the other side and those supporting them." on syrian state tv he went a step further saying he needs the opposition, the "terrorists" as the syrian government refers to the rebels, to put down their weapons, hand in their weapons, and he needs supporters of the opposition like turkey, saudi arabia, and qatar to also offer written guarantees that they're not going to fund the opposition. now, as this is going on, the syrian government held celebrations, if you can believe it or not, after the deaths of thousands of people on saturday in the streets of several cities celebrating the 65th anniversary, randy, of the ruling ba'ath party in syria. people out in the streets, and they were waving palestinian flags. now, this is ironic. syria sees itself as the defender of the palestinian cause, but the palestinian movement, hamas, abandon syria a few months ago because it cannot politically stand by the slaughter of thousands of sunni muslims in syria because the palestinian movement, hamas, is effectively a sunni movement -- muslim mooumt. randy. >> as we see this violence that has really ramped up this weekend, i mean, we have the deadline for the cease-fire on tuesday. is this a last attempt, a last effort by the syrian regime to be done with the opposition, to stop this? >> well, that's certainly what the opposition has been accusing the syrian government of doing. basically trying to kill as many opposition members and fighters as possible before this tuesday withdrawal deadline, and it's not just the opposition that's saying this. on saturday night the u.n. secretary general said april 10th, this tuesday deadline, should not be an excuse for the syrian government to try to wipe out as many people as possible. randy. >> ivan watson for us. ivan, thank you very much. >> a serious debate going on right now. another state is considering abolishing the death penalty. we'll fill you in when we come back. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle -- 8% every 10 years. wow. wow. but you can help fight muscle loss with exercise and ensure muscle health. i've got revigor. what's revigor?
