One injured, suspect at large following north Spokane shooting early Friday morning

A male may have been shot over a disagreement about property or money early Friday morning at a north Spokane apartment complex, deputies said.

Spokane County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded around 1:15 a.m. to the 6300 block of North Howard Street after reports of multiple gunshots, according to a Spokane County Sheriff’s Office news release. A male, believed to be the suspect, was seen with a firearm leaving in a vehicle. He had been staying at one of the apartment units, deputies said.

Deputies located a handgun, blood and additional evidence on the south side of the apartment building, the release said.

Providence Holy Family Hospital staff told authorities a male was brought in with gunshot wounds that morning, according to the sheriff’s office. His injuries were reported as potentially life-threatening but he appeared to have stabilized. Deputies and Spokane police officers responded to the hospital.

Investigators believe they identified the people involved but have not located the suspect.
