Man shot at Hells Angels clubhouse not cooperating with police

The man shot at the Hells Angels clubhouse in East Central Spokane Sunday is not cooperating with police who are investigating the incident and told officers he “didn’t want to be a victim,” according to court documents.

The two men who drove the victim, identified as Logan J. Wood, to the hospital to be treated for his wound also refused to tell police anything other than they were at the clubhouse at 1306 E. Sprague Ave., court records say. The victim was shot in the back.

All three men denied being members of the Hells Angels, but one asked police for permission to retrieve his “cuts” from the trunk of the car used to drive the victim to the hospital before officers impounded it as evidence. The term “cuts” is commonly used to refer to a Hells Angels motorcycle vest, according to court documents.

Both Wood and one of the men who drove him to the hospital are convicted felons.

Police responded to the clubhouse just before 11:30 a.m. Sunday after a 911 caller reported hearing gunshots. One witness told police that she saw a red truck and a black car driving quickly away from the clubhouse after the gunshots were heard. She also saw several men get into a red car and drive away after taking off their motorcycle vests and putting them in the trunk of the car, according to court documents. A second witness gave similar information to police.

Several men who told police they had been in the backyard of the clubhouse that day denied any knowledge of the shooting.

Police found six 9 mm cartridge cases in the street outside the clubhouse, according to court records. There were six motorcycles parked out front. One appeared to have been hit by a bullet on the front fender and a helmet placed on one of the motorcycles had a bullet hole in it. One bullet was removed from the front wall of the building.

Investigators also found three loaded guns sitting in plain view on a countertop inside the clubhouse – a .38-caliber derringer, a .22-caliber revolver and a .45-caliber Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun, court documents say.

Police recently said on Twitter that the department has responded to the Hells Angels clubhouse 19 times since January 2013.
