DONALD -- Police arrested two teenagers Friday on suspicion of felony murder in the fatal shooting of a husband and wife who reported a burglary earlier in the week at their next-door neighbor's house, police said.
Gale Goode, 48, and Becky Goode, 47, were killed Thursday in their rural ranch home just outside this northern Marion County community of about 600 people.
The suspects -- Jorge Ybarra, 19, and Emanuel Lopez-Delgado, 16, both of Salem -- were among three teenagers found in a car that witnesses saw leaving the street where the Goodes lived.
Sheriff's deputies backed up by Oregon State Police chased the car on Interstate 5 and found that Lopez-Delgado and a 14-year-old boy inside had been shot.
The younger boy was in stable condition at OHSU Hospital in Portland. He hasn't been arrested.
Lopez-Delgado was treated for his wounds at Salem Hospital. His case will be handled in adult court, said Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Tuttle. He is being held at the Marion County jail.
Ybarra also faces a first-degree burglary count and is being held at the Marion County jail.
Sheriff's officials haven't released many details on what happened at the Goode home or how the teens were shot.
Marion County Deputy Kevin Rau said two burglary calls came in to the sheriff's office this week about burglaries at a house next to the Goodes' home. The neighbor first reported an overnight burglary on Wednesday, he said.
Then on Thursday, Becky Goode called 9-1-1 and reported two boys jumping over the neighbor's fence and running away, Rau said. She told dispatchers that her husband went outside with a gun, but by then the two, along with a third man, had escaped.
Felony murder is a Measure 11 crime that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Ybarra and Lopez-Delgado both face arraignment next week.

That was bucause the parents of the girl the scumbag killed, were as liberal as all get out and opposed the death penalty.
Too bad the sheriff does not issue his deputies M-72 LAW's. Would make the chases a whole lot shorter. These little scumbags will now get 3 hots and a cot at the expense of the Oregon taxpayers. All they deserve is a trip to potter's field.
Shoot, shovel and forget, and be sure to shoot first and ask questions later! I got no problem with that. Rid the earth of these little pieces of excrement and make life better for the rest of us.
Agree......friggin trash. murdering trash that will be deemed too young to die within the justice system.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Just in case. :)
I wonder why the 14 year old wasn't charged?
Are this punks members of a gang?
Gangs in Central America will go back and murder people who turn them in or for revenge, that is why most people look the other way when a crime is committed because even if the punk is in jail, his friends are not.
I wonder if these guys are illegals?
If they find out this is gang related someone police or community needs to come down hard on em.

Great advice! K.I.S.S. principle at all times!
What were they working at? Burglary and murder?
Nobody knows, and our President doesn't care.
How many pre-teens/teens with weapons or bombs do you think were killed in Vietnam...
You'd be shocked...
These punk bastards can't even make the legitimate claim they were fighting for their country.....
Either fry em, or turn them over to the love starved 400 lb, Bozo in cell block C.
