Vancouver, Wash. – Vancouver Police responded last night around 9:15 p.m. to the report of a shooting at the Vancouver Plaza parking lot, where a carnival was being held. Officers learned that a large group of youth had been involved in a fight and one of the people fired a gun that struck another male in the stomach. As officers were approaching the area, information came out that the victim was being driven to the hospital by someone who was at the scene and a vehicle description was provided. The vehicle with the victim inside, passed a responding officer who turned around and made contact at the hospital with the victim and the witness. The victim suffered a non-life-threatening injury.

As information was developed, containment of the area was done, a UAS was deployed and a K9 track was conducted. The suspect was identified but was not located within the containment area.
