EPHRATA — A man and woman are charged with allegedly shooting at a car, during an argument, while driving on Broadway Avenue in Moses Lake.

Salvador Harrison, 25, Warden, and Nancy Hernandez, 19, Warden, are each charged in Grant County Superior Court with one count of drive-by shooting and three counts of assault in the second degree — deadly weapon.

Hernandez and Harrison were driving west on Broadway on April 16, when two women and a girl in a different car reportedly started yelling at Hernandez to stop because they wanted to fight. One of the victims accused Hernandez of “trying to get with her man,” according to the Moses Lake police report.

When they approached the Shell station on Broadway, near Interstate 90, Hernandez reportedly reached into the back seat, handing Harrison a bag. He allegedly pulled a handgun from the bag, firing three shots from a revolver at the victims’ car through the driver’s side window, the victims stated.

After the gun was fired, the victims reportedly slammed on their brakes, pulling onto West Peninsula Drive, where they called police, according to the police report.

Police found a hole in the front passenger’s side tire, reportedly caused by one of the bullets. None of the three people in the car were struck.

When police questioned Hernandez, she reportedly said someone fired a gun from her car during the argument, but it wasn’t her.

A gun has yet to be located by police.
