Two male victims were shot, one sustaining life threatening injuries. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.

Just after 5:00am this morning, July 30, 2016, Spokane Police responded to the report of a shooting in the 2100 block of west Sharp. Police arrived on scene to find two male victims on scene had been shot. One victim sustained life threatening injuries.

Witnesses on scene are currently being interviewed and the scene is being processed. Sharp from Nettleton to Cannon is closed and will be until at least 9:00am, so motorists are asked to use an alternate route.

They are asking anyone with information on this incident that has not been contacted by police to call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.
