YAKIMA, Wash. -- The New Year's Eve storm that dumped several inches of snow may have slowed down some celebrations, but it definitely helped police officers last night.
"Round in the chamber. Who's lap? That dude's lap? The drivers lap," said two Yakima Police officers as they secured a scene.
A snow storm and a flurry of shots fired calls for YPD. Just before midnight two teenagers get caught with a loaded gun. Their car stuck in the snow, in it ammunition, a marijuana pipe and alcohol.
While the snow did hold up the get-a-way car. It also makes finding bullet casings difficult.
"Can't find anything in this," said Ofc. Tory Adams, as he kicked through the fresh snow.
Some people fire shots into the air to ring in the New Year, it's something officers wish people wouldn't do.
"Whatever goes up has to go down. So when people are shooting into the air they don't think it's dangerous, but it actually is because that bullet has to fall somewhere," Sgt. Mike Costello.
The next call, more shots fired, which lead officers to a car full of gang members. The theme of the night seemed to be people getting stuck in the snow.
"I know this is the second one already," agreed an officer.
In this car also a gun and casings, four people taken into custody and one of them an Army Reservist.
"A 357 Smith and Wesson...nice gun...it is a nice gun," said officers as they pulled evidence.
Both vehicles were impounded for evidence, charges are pending for both gun possessions and for the minors with alcohol.
