2 Shot One Dead in Yakima Wednesday

Yakima Police are investigating a gang related shooting that injured a juvenile in Yakima on Wednesday. Officers say the shooting was reported at about 7:30 pm Wednesday at Custer and Garfield Avenues after people called 911 to report shots fired. Police found a juvenile male who had been shot.

POLICE SAY THE TEEN WILL SURVIVE THE SHOOTING

The teen was taken to Multicare Yakima Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening wounds. Capt. Jay Seely says it could be another long summer of gang related shootings and assaults because many times when a shooting happens rival gang members want revenge. He can't say if that will be the case with this shooting but he says that's what has happened many times in the past. He's just hoping innocent bystanders aren't injured or killed during the shootings that happen in public spaces including area neighborhoods.
