2 Victims Discuss Hoopfest Shootings

Item: Victims talk about Hoopfest shooting/Erik Loney, KXLY

More Info: As five suspects sit in jail for their involvement in Saturday's shooting at Hoopfest, the two women who were shot in the leg are talking about the experience. "We were walking away and that's when we heard the gunshot," said one of the victims, who don't want their identities revealed in fear of retaliation. The other victim, a 19-year-old woman said Sunday that she was still hurting and scared.

Question: What do you make of the Hoopfest shootings -- a random act of violence? Or more evidence that Spokane is becoming too violent?
