BATON ROUGE - Police have arrested two teenagers who were allegedly involved in a shootout during a downtown Christmas parade that left a woman injured. 

The Baton Rouge Police Department took Trevyon Collins and Eddie Monroe, both 17, into custody for one count each of attempted first-degree murder after the shooting, which happened on Dec. 14. Another teenager allegedly involved in the shooting, 15-year-old Christopher King, was arrested on Jan. 10.

"Two of the three were juveniles at the time of the offence. At this point, since no court action has been taken, not a lot of information can be released," District Attorney Hillar Moore said.

According to arrest documents, Eddie Monroe was 16 at the time of the shooting. 

"Based on the information that I've been provided, this is a case that we're going to review to determine whether the case should be tried in adult court or in district court, despite two of the three's age of being a juvenile," Moore said.

During the investigation, detectives watched surveillance video of the shooting, which showed four men inside a nearby store prior to the shootout. Collins and Monroe are believed to be two of those four and were both seen brandishing weapons at another group of men. 

Officers found over forty shell casings around the scene. 

A woman was shot in the back during the shootout. Her injuries were non-life-threatening. 

There was no immediate information on the teens' bond amount. The two teenagers, since they are 17 years old, will be tried as adults if they go into court.
