Two dead, one injured in South Hill shooting

Two men died and another man is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after a shooting Wednesday night on the South Hill.

Spokane Police Department Sgt. Teresa Fuller said gunshots were reported about 8:45 p.m. on East 34th Avenue between Myrtle and Havana streets.

Fuller said all three men who were shot were acquainted, but she didn’t know whether they were related. She said she didn’t know whether the shooting happened inside or outside a home.

Police have not said if they have a suspect or if they have made any arrests in the killings, but they said in a news release that “there is no current indication of additional threats to the community.”

Major Crimes detectives are investigating.

Fuller, who addressed reporters about 10:45 p.m. down the street from the shooting, said she expected investigators to be on scene for several hours.
