NEAR SPOKANE -- Sheriff's deputies are on the hunt for two men suspected of being involved in a shooting.  They say the shooting happened just before 6:00 p.m. where Thierman Road turns into Weile Avenue near Bigelow Gulch.

Initially authorities said two cars were involved.  Now they say two men were walking along the road and fired at a passing car.  The bullet hit one man, sitting in the front passenger seat, in the back of the head.  Two other people were also in the car.  The driver made her way to the nearest fire station at Bigelow Gulch and Jensen to get help.  Medics at Fire District 9 helped the victim.  They say he will survive.  The driver and the other passenger were also taken to a hospital.

Deputies have stopped looking for the suspects.  Authorities say both men are in their 20's.  One is white and the other has darker skin.  Both were wearing blue shorts but only one doesn't have a shirt on.  Authorities say one of the suspects has a handgun.

Just the the headline is stupid. I'm not even going to read the article for fear of losing IQ points.

You are all nuts. Most people who carry hand guns either don't have a permit or know nothing about guns. Just carry them and pull them out with no excuse. MAN, I have a gun.

Is it possible that there were no two guys walking along the road and the ones in the car got shot while being somewhere or doing something they shouldnt? Something to think about. Just thinkin' out loud.

And yes, I am SLOW JOE. How did you guess my name? One more thing, unless you are perfect or just plain stupid, we know what a person is attempting to say! It should not bother a soul because they made a mistake unless there is something wrong with you! Let he that is without fault cast the first bad remark!

I saw that Billythekid! Used to shot Reagon! Did everybody get that? Used to shot when it should be shoot! How;s a little of your own medicine feel Kid? And by the way, I am really Pat Garret, and this time I will get you! I say that because we know for a fact today that he never shot Billy! I am just kidding anyway. I am a real man and a few words do not anger me! I took care of all those defects!

SlowJoe is so obsessed with pumping up KREM stories, like this one, that he manages to not even read the stinking words. Like his little habit of saying, "Great job reporting, KREM", when in fact, it's a story by another news agency and not even KREMS story at all. Guys like SlowJoe who wrongly think they're prefect really annoy those of us who actually are. BTW, to the guy that thinks not everyone carries a .22 concealed, I have a little news for you. Guess what Hinkley used to shot Reagan back in '81? .22 is a nasty little round; it tends to ricochet off bones in the body, inflicting significant damage due to tissue and organs along it's path.

THE STORY BEGINS WITH, "SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES ARE ON THE HUNT...........", AND ENDS WITH, "DEPUTIES HAVE STOPPED LOOKING FOR THE SUSPECTS." WRONG, WRONG AND WRONG. WHAT DOES KREM'S CHEERLEADER JOECARTWRIGHT THINK ABOUT SLOPPY REPORTING? COME ON JOE, PUT YOUR HELMET ON!

I wish that people would not always cut KREM down! I know that I am not quite perfect. I am the closest thing to it but I am not perfect!

Why does the headline say "...during ' walk-by'"? That to me would mean the car was stopped/parked and the suspects "walked by" and started shooting. The rest of the story doesn't sound like that is how it happened. And what is with "only one doesn't have a shirt on"? Make it simple -- "one of the suspects was shirtless". It would be more helpful if you said which one -- light or darker skinned. What color was the shirt? Absolutely useless article, but joecartwright thinks you did a great job of reporting!

Love how people who don't know what they're talking about always promote the .45

Really Trailheader? No one with a CPL carries a .22? You go ahead and keep on thinking that, but please stop passing off your fantasies as fact....

auntie.. " Some people do carry, having CPLs" Sorry but anyone whom carries does not carry a .22 The story says it all, survived/wounded/head. I highly doubt the shooter was legal in possesion of the weapon to begin with. .45 cause shooting twice is silly.

Don't jump to conclusions... for all we know, the pedestrians were minding their own business and the driver of the car decided to swerve toward them. Some people do carry, having CPLs, and it's possible. Knowing KREMs iffy reporting style, which is no better or worse than KHQs or KXLYs, by the way, it's really hard to say at all what really happened. Let's wait to see how it unfolds, and if the shooter was just a randomly-acting jerk, then send him up... if the driver was the jerk, then send HIM up. Get more info before passing judgement, tho, 'cuz an initial news report isn't going to give the facts... probably isn't going to give ANY reliable facts.

Great job reporting, KREM: it sounds funny to me so I won't jump to any conclusions! I don't at all condone it but I believe that they had to have either known the shooter, yelled or honked at them to cause them to shoot! At any rate I hope they catch them and give them life!
