HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two men who have been jailed in connection with a shooting earlier this month will make an appearance on charges to be filed related to the case in court on Tuesday.
Reno County District Attorney Tom Stanton told Hutch Post Monday afternoon that by the end of the day Monday, charges would be filed against 64-year-old Sandral Wade and 71-year-old Robert Louis Lagrange in the shooting of two men, one fatally in the 1500 block of West 12th April 11.
According to a previous release from Hutchinson Police, at 1:39 a.m. on the 11th, officers on patrol near 5th and Hendricks heard gunshots north of their location.

The 46-year-old was also taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. He was pronounced dead.
