FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — A Fort Wayne man accused of fatally shooting two young men and wounding a third at a gas station in 2021 has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.

Joseph Bossard also would admit to a firearm charge under a plea bargain with prosecutors under which he faces a sentence of at least 65 years in prison, news outlets reported.

Under the deal reached Thursday, prosecutors would drop charges of aggravated battery and criminal recklessness and their request for a life sentence without parole.
