Vancouver Police Department detectives say it appears that two men injured in a Wednesday night shooting in the Ellsworth Springs neighborhood fired their weapons at each other.

Officers and ambulances were dispatched around 9:15 p.m. Wednesday to the 10400 block of Southeast 10th Street on a report of a disturbance with weapons. They found two people with gunshot wounds. One victim had a critical injury, while the second person’s injury was not life-threatening, police said.

Both were taken to local hospitals, police said.

Police continue to investigate the shooting but reported Thursday that the incident apparently started as a dispute between the two men.

“(B)oth males were armed with a gun and fired their weapons at each other at some point, resulting in both parties being shot,” the police department said in a press release.

The man with the less severe injury was shot in the leg, police said. He was identified as Andrew C. Morris, 22, of Vancouver.

Police did not identify the man who suffered the critical injury but said he is expected to survive.
