Man Shot In Leg After Confrontation

A man was shot in the leg late Friday after two men struggled for control of a gun in a parking lot in north Spokane.

Witnesses told police two men left the Electron Palace at 7452 N. Division with their girlfriends about 11 p.m. and were confronted by two men in a car. The passengers yelled a name at one of the men and he responded.
