YAKIMA, Wash. -- An 18-year-old Yakima man suffered a minor arm wound in a gang-related shooting late Tuesday, police said.
Officers responded to the area of 24th and West Lincoln avenues about 11:45 p.m. to check on multiple reports of gunfire.
Minutes later, the gunshot victim was dropped off at a city hospital, where he was treated and later released.
Four people were in the car. The victims told police they were driving when an older red sport utility vehicle approached them head-on, then someone opened fire as the vehicle passed.
Bullets shattered the right rear passenger window before striking the man in the right arm, which he had used to cover his face, police said. Two small-caliber bullets were found in his sweatshirt.
Police identified two other occupants -- both men in their early 20s -- and said all three victims are known Yakima gang members.
