A shooting at Yakima's Chesterly Park has police searching for suspects and doing all they can to cut down gun related violence in the city while hoping no innocent people get hurt. Capt. Jay Seely says lots of bullets were flying near the YMCA Aquatic Center at Chesterly Park on north 40th Avenue Friday Afternoon.

POLICE FOUND 13 SHELL CASINGS IN THE PARKING LOT

Police found 13 .45 caliber shell casings in the parking lot. A bullet reportedly hit the YMCA building and a nearby house on the corner of 40th and River Road. No injuries were reported but two cars were struck that were parked in the parking lot.

POLICE HAVE A SUSPECT VEHICLE

Police searched for suspects and later found a vehicle in the 2400 block of Castlevale Road. Police say the vehicle "many bullet strikes in the car." Investigators also found some spent shell casings and a small amount of blood on the drivers seat. They impounded the car as the search for the driver and others continue. Police thought that maybe a victim from the shooting would show up at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital but so far there's no reports of that happening.
The investigation continues today.
