Two people injured in shooting at Havana and 8th

Spokane County Sheriff’s deputies investigated an early morning shooting Wednesday near East Eighth Avenue and Havana Street in Spokane Valley.

Two victims with gunshot wounds, a man and a woman, were dropped off at a local hospital by a private vehicle, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office. The injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

The shooting took place in the driveway of a home on the 4300 block of East Eighth Avenue at about 1 a.m., the Sheriff’s Office said.

Major Crimes detectives and forensic personnel responded to collect evidence and investigate. It appears that several subjects approached the victims in the driveway shortly after 1 a.m., according to initial information from the Sheriff’s Office. An argument followed, escalating when the suspect or suspects began shooting.

The incident is not believed to be random. Investigators said there is no ongoing public threat stemming from the incident.
