KENNEWICK, Wash.-
Kennewick Police are investigating after shots were fired outside a Mexican restaurant on the 100 block of W. Kennewick Avenue around 1:44 a.m. on February 19.
KPD officers were dispatched to the location for reports of a disturbance in front of the restaurant between multiple people and a gun being dropped. Five to six shots were reportedly fired before the suspect left in a black Jeep with Oregon registration.
When officers arrived on scene the suspect was gone, but six spent .40 caliber shell casings and one live round were found in the street.
