An Airway Heights shooting listed in last week’s Cheney Free Press police reports may have raised a few eyebrows, but local police said it was less concerning than it first appeared.
Just after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 3, police received a report of a man in a vehicle shooting a gun in the air while the vehicle was driving down the 800 block of South Garfield Road. Witnesses reported hearing “two or three pops” coming from a silver sedan, Airway Heights Police Department’s Sgt. Robert Swan said.
There was no property damage and no injuries reported, though officers did discover nine millimeter shell casings in the road. Police tried to get video footage of the incident from surrounding businesses without success, Swan said.
“They reportedly shot in the air — starting the Fourth of July a little bit early, I guess,” Swan said.
