About 90 minutes later, Patrick Covington came out of the apartment and was arrested. And an hour after that, as a SWAT Team with the Missouri State Highway Patrol prepared to make entry, the other suspect, Keyshawn Flowers, gave up and was arrested. Sedalia Police and Benton County sheriff's deputies were also involved at the scene.

A search of the apartment revealed two guns believed to be used in the incident.

Both suspects were taken to the Sedalia Police Department, and during the interviews, both Covington and Flowers reportedly admitted their involvement in the shooting.

They were then transported to the Pettis County Jail and charged with 1st Degree Assault, Armed Criminal Action, Unlawful Use of a Firearm, Resisting Arrest and Stealing.

According to the report, Cotton was listed in stable condition.
