Two people shot at Rogers High School on Tuesday night

By Rebecca White and Maggie Quinlan The Spokesman-Review

Two teenagers walked into a Spokane hospital with gunshots Tuesday evening after reports of shots fired at Rogers High School, police said.

Around 5:30 p.m., one 911 caller reported to police what sounded like an exchange of gunfire at the school, while another caller reported hearing 16 shots, said Spokane Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Terry Preuninger.

When police arrived, they couldn’t find suspects. They did find shell casings, a knife and brass knuckles in the high school’s parking lot, Preuninger said.

About an hour later, two 16-year-old males walked into Providence Holy Family Hospital with gunshot injuries that were not life-threatening, Preuninger said.

According to an update released by law enforcement Wednesday morning, both teenage victims were not truthful about what occurred during the shooting and their stories did not match up with surveillance footage gathered from the scene. 

No suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made in connection with the shootings.
