Three men were shot Tuesday, Jan. 15, in Pullman, Washington.
Police responded to a report of gunshots fired at the 2400 block of S.E. 19the
Avenue around 1:45 a.m. Upon arrival police discovered the three men with
gunshot wounds. Donald James Connelly, age 21, was pronounced dead on the scene
by medical personnel. Police will not release the names of the other two
victims, both of which are receiving care for critical injuries.
According to witnesses two men fled the scene in a
blue Honda Civic. “The shooter jumped in the car, and the driver gunned it,”
said witness Karen Potts.
Police believe that the shooting is gang-related.
According to Pullman Police Commander Frank Murray, gang outreach workers and
the Police Bureau’s Gang Enforcement Team are interviewing witnesses and known
gang members.
“This horrific shooting emphasizes the need for more
cops on the street. We want this to stop,” said Commander Murray.
