SPOKANE, Wash. — Two people died in a shooting at an apartment complex in Spokane’s East Central neighborhood on Tuesday, according to Spokane Police Department.
Around 5:15 p.m., SPD responded to multiple calls about a man with a knife at the Hart Terrace Apartments near 11th Avenue and Ray Street.
According to SPD, a caller said a man and a woman were struggling and that a gunshot was heard.
When police responded, they found two injured people in the complex’s parking lot ‘P’.
Police attempted life-saving efforts, but both people died of their injuries at the scene.
SPD said multiple people were involved in the incident and a suspect has been detained.
A press release sent out by SPD Tuesday night said investigators are asking anyone who witnessed or may have surveillance footage of the incident to call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.
Tuesday’s shooting took place at the same apartment complex where a police officer shot a man in February.
