Man shot during a fight at a Richland party

A man was shot in the chest at a Richland home late Friday after getting into a fight at a party.

Thomas Callaway of Richland was a guest at the party on the 2100 block of Concord Street when he reportedly attacked another man about 11 p.m..

Steven Ball of Richland, who lives at the home, got out his handgun and told Callaway to leave, said police.

When he refused, Ball shot him in the chest, said Cerise Peck, Richland police’s crime prevention specialist.

Officers interviewed Ball and the other witnesses, and after talking with Benton County prosecutors, Ball was released.

Callaway was treated at Kadlec Regional Medical Center. His condition was not immediately available.
