One of them -- Jay Landeck -- was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other was transported to an area hospital.
The condition of the latter is unknown at this time, but 7News reports that the wound was to the man's leg.As for Jay, there's not a great deal of material about him online. This photo is from a now-deleted MySpace page....
