UPDATE: Pasco man still hospitalized following Richland shooting

A 24-year-old Pasco man remains in stable but serious condition after a July 4 shooting at Howard Amon Park.

Sergio Rivera was rushed to Kadlec Regional Medical Center with multiple gunshot wounds after a 7:52 p.m. fight near the community center turned violent, police officials said.

Investigators still are withholding other details around the attack that closed the park for the night.

The shooting was between two groups of people who knew each other, according to Richland police.

The shooting took place while hundreds gathered to picnic and wait to watch fireworks.

Officers reopened the park Thursday morning, except for a small area near the community center where the shooting took place, Richland Sgt. Drew Florence said.

Police scoured the area with metal detectors and sifted through the soil this morning.

There are no signs of anyone being booked into the Benton County jail in connection with the shooting.
