Gunshot inside van pierces nearby car at Kennewick gas station

A bullet flew by a woman Thursday night as she sat in her car at a Kennewick gas station.

The woman was waiting in her car at 11:40 p.m. at the Circle K on 5301 W. Canal Drive when the shot came through her red Chevy sedan, said Kennewick police.

The bullet apparently came from inside a newer gray or silver minivan stopped at a nearby pump.

The woman driving the van looked “very surprised” and sped away on Edison Street, police said.

A man was in the front seat of the van and another person was in the back but the victim didn’t know any of them, police said.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Kennewick police at 509-628-0333.
