SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Three people were lightly wounded when gunfire erupted during a Spokane summer festival.
Police officer Teresa Fuller says five men have been arrested in connection with the violence during Saturday’s Hoopfest celebration.
She says that at least one shot was fired as fighting broke out near Howard Street and Spokane Falls Blvd. between two rival gangs around 6 p.m.
Two female bystanders were hit by a gunshot and a man was apparently hit by a fragment of the bullet. All were treated at a hospital and released; none was connected to the fighting.
