Vehicle seized after Larson Community drive-by shooting
MOSES LAKE, Wash. (02SEPT2014) – Nobody was hurt and a car was seized after a Wednesday evening drive-by shooting in the Larson Community.
Grant County Sheriff’s Deputies and Moses Lake Police just before 6 p.m. answered a call for shots fired near 8924 Westover Boulevard. Witnesses described a silver Pontiac with three Hispanic males inside. The right front seat passenger aimed a firearm out the window toward a possible intended victim. Witnesses further said the car stopped at the east end of Travis Drive, then the armed passenger got out of the car and fired three shots at two fleeing people. One of the fleeing persons returned fire; one of his bullets struck a nearby home. An unassociated vehicle parked on Travis was also struck. At this point, nobody has come forward claiming to be injured.
Shortly thereafter, investigators got word that the silver Pontiac was parked at 1228 Arlington Drive. The Pontiac was seized as evidence used in a felony crime against a person, and will be processed for evidence.
Two subsequent reports of shots fired were unfounded:
• One shot heard around 8:35 p.m. Wednesday in the area of Terminal Street Northeast. No suspect, damage, or evidence found. CR#14GS12155
• Shots heard around 2:20 a.m. Thursday near 1225 Arlington Drive. No suspect, damage, or evidence found. CR#14GS12161
Anyone with information on any of these incidents is asked to call the Grant County Sheriff’s Office at 509-762-1160, or send information to [email protected]. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
