Law enforcement are searching for a suspect in the Logan neighborhood after an officer-involved shooting on Sunday.

Spokane Police Department (SPD) said the suspect may be armed and dangerous. They're asking people to stay away from the area at this time.

According to preliminary information from SPD, a call came in around 12:26 p.m. about a suspicious vehicle playing loud music. The caller thought they heard an argument between a man and a woman. 

The first officer arrived in the area at 12:48 p.m. They told other officers the suspect had a gun. SPD says one of the officers then fired a shot. The suspect then dropped their weapon and ran away. 

When officers retrieved the weapon, they found it was a replica handgun and not a real handgun.

Authorities still have not found the suspect at this time.

KREM 2 news crews on the scene reported that police were asking nearby homeowners over loudspeaker to shelter in place. They also report seeing K-9 units on the scene and a drone flying over the neighborhood.

SPD is asking people to continue avoiding the area while they look for the suspect.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information is made available.
