We are starting things off with
some breaking news this morning.
Overnight, Spokane County sheriff's
responded to a shooting in Spokane Valley.
This all happened near Havana St.
and Pacific Ave.
so Crimson's Brandon T Jones is joining
us live from that scene right now.
Brandon, we know you've been
out there all morning long.
What can you tell us what happened here?
Well, yeah, Tim Channing,
we're still just trying to gather
some information on what caused
this homicide scene right here.
Actually, we're trying to determine if
it's still a homicide scene, honestly.
But what we do see is red crime
tape and yellow crime tape.
Major Crimes is investigating the
situation and we know one person is dead.
That's the information we have right now.
We're waiting on updates from investigators,
but I've seen them all morning long in this
home that you're looking at right now,
taking pictures, going.
Through it,
investigating this particular crime scene
right now as the sun has started to come up,
we get a better idea of just how
serious this is because we actually
had a crew here last night on scene
trying to investigate as well and trying
to get to the bottom of the situation.
So this is about hour 8 right
now and that seems a little bit
unusual to have law enforcement
blocking the area off for this long.
So what we do know is that it is a
very serious situation and as soon
as we get some type of information.
We'll be able to relay that to you as well.
Reporting live in Spokane County,
Brandon Jones,
Crimson News.
Well, now we are also following
more breaking news from overnight.
Right now there is an urgent
search for someone who shot and
killed a person in East Central.
Police say the drive by shooting
injured at least two others.
Right now Spokane Police are looking
for a light blue Honda Odyssey.
The one you see on your screen.
That license plate number is a SH3415.
Police believe that this car
is connected to the crime.
If you do see it though,
please contact police right away.
They do believe that the driver
could be armed and dangerous.
Now last night our crews on the
scene spoke with two people.
They say they're friends
with one of the victims.
I get a call from my other buddy.
He's freaking out.
He's all yeah. I just got shot.
You guys need to hurry up.
Get down here. Alright.
Yeah, he was freaking out.
So we just jammed down here as
fast as we could and got here
and cops were already here.
Only information we got from him
that he was shot, he needed help.
Got his location.
Where? Here.
SFPD has not released the names
of the victims at this time,
but anyone with information is asked
to call crime check right away.
As we hit 703 it's currently sunrise
in Coeur d'Alene, 2 minutes away.
It's a sunrise here in Spokane.
We will get lots of sunshine
once again for today.
Looking great as you see those live
pictures over Coeur d'Alene right now.
The blue skies overhead and a little
bit of orange on the eastern horizon.
Some needs a couple extra minutes to peak
over those mountains off to the east,
but should be another fantastic
start to the day.
It is a little bit colder thanks to the
clear skies that we had overnights 22 in CDA,
20 in Wallace and 27.
In Spokane right now.
Bit of a activity out towards the
West and northwest of Washington,
but no rain expected for today.
Might get a small chance of
showers by tomorrow morning.
Right now, the Pullman police
are continuing to look for a
suspect in an attempted abduction.
Last Friday, police received
reports of a man trying to force
himself into the apartment of
a young woman he did not know.
Crim 2's Amanda Rowley actually
traveled to Pullman to learn
more about what happened.
Recent events on the Palouse over the
last few months have understandably
put the Pullman community on Edge,
and now there's even more concern after
someone tried to force their way into
a WSU students apartment Friday night.
My gosh, that's scary because it's like,
right here where I'm living at,
Selena Salou lives a few doors down
from where the incident happened.
She learned about the attempted
abduction in a group chat.
Just to even walk out to go to your car,
just, like, throw the trash away.
It's, like, scary because it's.
You're like. Like now it's like you
have to look where you're going and
watching like who's like out and stuff,
cause it's like you can't
really trust anyone. Now
the rest of the community learned
about what happened after the
victim posted about it online.
According to that post,
after walking home Friday night,
the PhD student noticed a black
car parked outside her apartment.
She says it was running and
the trunk was left open.
She got inside the apartment,
but when she went to close the door,
a man grabbed the door handle and
tried forcing himself inside.
The post says she had to use her full
body weight to close and lock the door.
She reported this to police shortly
after and then out of fear,
she left Pullman as soon as she could.
We need the communities help.
Commander Aaron Burshears says.
Officers arrived on scene within minutes
and made extra patrols that night,
but they did not find the man
or the black car. He says.
The man is described as approximately
5 foot five and was seen wearing
a green sweatshirt.
Police are also searching for a black sedan.
Possibly a Nissan Altima with faded
black paint and no license plates.
Right now officers are investigating all
possible leads, talking to neighbors,
and asking the community to share
any information that may be helpful
to the investigation.
If there is a logical explanation
for the circumstances,
I would ask that the person responsible
give us a call and explain.
If there is a logical explanation,
it's scary to just think about
because it's like I can't even
like walk out without like.
Being like paranoid,
like who's watching me and stuff?
Or like, what if this happens to me?
In the meantime, Selina plans to be extra
cautious and keep her head on a swivel.
Now, CRIM 2 did speak with the
PhD student who says that she
is OK and feels very lucky.
Pullman police also posted on Facebook
saying they are investigating
reports of someone seen looking
into homes around College Hill,
but they don't believe that this is
related to the attempted abduction.
