TOPPENISH -- Two juvenile males were injured in a shooting Monday night in what police are calling a gang-related incident. Both victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Toppenish police said they responded to a report of a gunshot victim at Toppenish Community Hospital about 8:45 p.m.
One of the victims told police he was driving his vehicle out of a parking lot when someone shot at him from behind, striking him in the back. A passenger in the front seat was hit by flying glass and metal from the door. The driver was treated and released by the hospital a short time after he arrived.
Police described the suspect as a slender male of average height with a shaved head, wearing black clothing. He reportedly fled in a blue El Camino-type vehicle. The weapon appears to have been a rifle.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Toppenish police at 509-865-4355.
