Beginning about 9:54 p.m. Wednesday, 911 dispatchers received several calls of a disturbance with a weapon and shots fired in the 3200 or 3300 block of East 18th Street, near Grand Boulevard. Dispatchers were told that a caller said something to the effect that “someone is going to die.”
The first Vancouver police officers arrived in about one minute, reported seeing a large group of people outside and said they were being flagged down.
Police radioed that a man had fired two shots with a small-caliber gun, and the man had fled.
Officers blocked the road, looking for shell casings.
After several minutes, officers radioed that they hadn’t found any victim of a shooting.
