YAKIMA -- Another possible gang related shooting in Yakima Thursday afternoon. Once again, it happened in broad daylight.
An 18-year-old man was shot in the knee near 4th street and maple, shortly before 1:00 in the afternoon. Police quickly tracked two suspects to a home where they say the men broke in while trying to escape.
In the meantime, Adams Elementary and Washington Middle school both went into lock down during the investigation.
Two men were arrested. Both are from California and both have gang ties.
"We do believe we have the two individuals responsible at this time but there's more checking left," Captain Greg Copeland told Action News. "It's getting more and more dangerous around here for little kids and even for me. When I walk down the street I'm afraid of getting shot," Kathy Hitchcock sighed after witnessing the shooting.
The two men are sitting in the Yakima County jail charged with a list of crimes including assault and burglary.
