The Wyandotte County District Court determined Tuesday there was probable cause to “bind over” Villanueva-Morales and Alatorre for trial.
Alfredo Calderon, Everado Meza, Francisco Garcia Anaya and Martin Rodriguez Gonzales died as a result of the shooting, after which the community rallied to raise funds to cover funeral costs of one of the shooting victims.
Both also have been charged separately with one count of criminal possession of a firearm.
