1 jailed in West Richland drive-by shooting after party
West Richland police are investigating what appears to be a drive-by shooting without a clear target.
No one was hurt but a car and a light post were hit, and one person is in jail.
Police say Blake Walters, 25, was leaving a party at a home on the 800 block of Bombing Range Road early Friday. He somehow got his car stuck on a dirt mound near the home.
After other party-goers left, Walters went to his car, got out a rifle and started firing. West Richland police did not say how many shots were fired.
Officers arrested Walters and saw several guns inside his car. They planned to get a warrant to search it later.
Walters was booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of drive-by shooting.
