Kennewick police are searching for a suspect who shot at a man twice on the front lawn of his house.

The shooter was trying to find Casey Bockman, 34, at his house on the 400 block of Grant Street shortly before 8 p.m. Wednesday. After Bockman confronted the man on the lawn, the unnamed assailant fired twice, hitting Bockman once in the leg.
