Police are looking for a teen who reportedly broke into her ex-boyfriend’s Kennewick home, robbed him and shot a handgun Wednesday night.

The attack happened about 9 p.m. when the boyfriend called police to report that Katelynn Vinson, 18, of Kennewick, broke into his home on the 1100 block of North Buchanan Street.

They began fighting and Vinson allegedly fired several rounds from a .22-caliber pistol, though the boyfriend was not wounded.

He told Kennewick police he wrestled the gun away from her, but she stole his car keys and cellphone before getting away in a light gray sedan driven by someone else.

Anyone with more information on Vinson’s location is asked to call Kennewick police at 509-628-0333.
