Investigators say the men had been involved in a neighborhood dispute before.

Witnesses say May confronted Delarosa, from Bemidji, and Cook, from Red Lake -- and then was shot by both men.

May is being treated for non-life threatening injuries. Delarosa and Cook are both expected to be charged with second-degree assault. Cook will also likely be charged for illegally possessing a weapon.
