Troopers are looking for witnesses in a drive-by shooting on state Highway 500 last week that left two men injured.
Richard Chandra, 29, of Vancouver was driving a 1997 Honda Civic coupe east on the highway at about 2 a.m. Saturday when an unknown dark vehicle, also traveling east, passed the vehicle and fired multiple shots at the Honda, according to Washington State Patrol.
The dark vehicle continued driving and Richard Chandra pulled the vehicle to the right shoulder and called 911, troopers said. Richard Chandra sustained a gunshot wound to his life knee and a bullet grazed the back of the head of his passenger, 32-year-old Daniel Chandra of Vancouver, according to state patrol.
Both men were taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center where they were treated for the injury, described as not life threatening.
Detectives said that the dark vehicle had been traveling closely behind the Honda before the shooting, which involved at least ten shots from two different calibers of handguns.
State patrol is asking that anyone who witnessed the incident or individuals who may have information on the shooting contact Detective Jennifer Ortiz at 360-449-7948 or Jennifer.ortiz@wsp.wa.gov.
