Two Massachusetts men are pleading guilty to several charges in a drive-by shooting in Saco last year

Police say 22-year-old Joshua Estrada and 22-year-old Yancarlos Abrante fired numerous shots into another car during a drug deal dispute and then drove against traffic and crashed into another car and a school bus.

The broad-daylight shooting led to a shelter-in-place in Saco, as well as a lockdown at nearby schools and a massive manhunt.

Estrada and Abrante face 20 years to life in prison for their convictions.
