SPOKANE, Wash. — The Spokane Police Department (SPD) is responding to two shootings that happened within a 10-block area near 29th Avenue on Monday afternoon.
At approximately 2:30 p.m., SPD received two calls from two different people who said they were shot at while driving on 29th Avenue. The calls came in within one minute of each other and reportedly happened within 10 blocks of the other, according to SPD.
One person was shot and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
29th is currently closed from Manito on the west and Perry on the east as police investigate.
SPD Communications Manager Julie Humphreys told KREM 2 it appears that the parties were not connected and the shootings were random, though she said the investigation is still in its early stages.
Police are actively looking for the suspect. There is no vehicle description at this time.
SPD is expected to release more information on the shootings shortly.
