The Spokane Police Department responds to another drive by shooting. 

On 8/27/2020 at 8:51 PM, SPD Officers were dispatched to a drive by shooting in the 1700 block of E Sanson Ave.  When officers arrived the vehicle was gone.  Officers found several spent shell casings in the middle of the street. Officers contacted the occupants of a home in the 1700 block of E Sanson where they discovered 2 bullet holes in the front living room window. 

None of the occupants of the home were injured.  Officers checked on all of the residents of the block to make sure there were no other victims.
