Drive-by Shooting in North Central Spokane Sends Juvenile Male to Hospital with Life-threatening Injury

Responding officers located a juvenile male victim who told officers he had been lying on a couch in the living room when gunshots rang out from outside. Officers on scene immediately began life-saving measures on the male. Personnel from the Spokane Fire Department and AMR responded shortly thereafter and took over medical care. The juvenile male was transported to an area hospital where he is being treated for a life-threatening gunshot wound.
