Juvenile shot in Pasco. And another man jailed for shooting at his brother-in-law
Pasco police are investigating after a juvenile male was shot on Monday.
Around 7:15 p.m. Pasco police were dispatched to an area on Chapel Hill Boulevard near Belgian Lane for a report of someone being shot, according to Pasco Police Lt. Tom Groom.
When officers arrived they found a juvenile male who had been shot in the torso. It’s unclear how old the boy is.
He was taken to a local hospital for injuries that were not life threatening.
Roads were briefly closed in the area while police investigated Monday night.
Groom said that no arrests had been made by Tuesday morning, but they do not believe there is a threat to the public.
Sunday shooting
One person is in jail after another shooting Sunday.
Lorenzo Cruz Magana, 22, is being held in the Franklin County jail in lieu of $500,000 bail on suspicion of four counts of first-degree assault.
About 11:15 p.m. on Sunday officers were dispatched for a disturbance with weapons on the 1700 block of W. Irving St., according to court documents.
The caller said gunshots were heard and a GMC Yukon was seen leaving the area, headed toward Edgar Brown Stadium near Pasco High School.
When officers arrived they spoke to the man at the stadium and were told that his brother had gotten into an argument with his brother-in-law and his family at the Irving Street home.
The man said he told his brother to get back in the car because he knew the father-in-law had guns and was going to shoot at him. As he began to speed away from the house, he heard the vehicle get hit by multiple gunshots, according to court documents.
Police found five bullet holes in the driver’s side of the SUV. There were two other men in the vehicle with the victim and his brother, but none were hurt.
After speaking with the victim officers headed to the Irving Street home and found multiple bullet casings in the front yard.
Video footage of a Ring doorbell camera showed Magana firing a pistol toward the vehicle. Magana told investigators that someone in the vehicle was shooting at him and he returned fire.
He refused to hand over the gun or tell investigators where it was, and stopped answering questions.
He was arrested and booked into the Franklin County Jail just before midnight on Sunday.
