SPOKANE, Wash. — The suspect in a shooting in Northeast Spokane was arrested on Wednesday, according to the Spokane Police Department (SPD). The shooting prompted a nearby elementary school to go into lockdown as a precaution.
According to SPD, officers received a report of a shooting near the 2300 block of East Euclid Avenue shortly after 11 a.m. on Wednesday. When officers arrived, they learned a man was shot at by an unknown person but was not injured.
SPD said information led officers to search the surrounding area because they believed the suspect was nearby. Because the shooting took place approximately a block away from an elementary school, the school was temporarily placed on lockdown as a precaution.
Officers ultimately arrested 19-year-old Linfield Heran shortly after the shooting was reported. Heran was booked into the Spokane County Jail for first-degree assault, but SPD said other charges are possible.
According to SPD, no one was injured. No reports of injuries are coming from the school placed on lockdown.
