Stratford drive-by injures one

MOSES LAKE — One person was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries following a shooting on Stratford Road at about 8 p.m. Saturday, according to Moses Lake Police Department Captain Jeff Sursely.

Moses Lake Police officers were summoned for a report of a fight in the 1100 block of Stratford Road north of State Route 17, Sursely said in a statement. The fight escalated into a shooting, resulting in the victim's injuries.  

“The initial caller reported one of the participants brandished a gun during the fight,” Sursely said.  

As officers arrived at the fight scene, a subject contacted law enforcement from the vicinity of Stratford Road and Maple Drive Northeast, saying he had been shot, Sursely said.  

“A witness described a white sedan pulling up next to the victim and firing several shots into the vehicle as they traveled northbound on Stratford Road,” Sursely said.  

The victim suffered gunshot wounds to his arm and back and was transported to Samaritan Hospital. The case is still under investigation.
