Shooting in Pullman

In an ongoing investigation, Pullman Police Detectives have been looking into the shooting that took place March 3, on the 2400 block of S.E. 19th Ave., leaving one dead and two injured.

Upon officer’s arrival, they found three individuals had been shot with one declared dead at the scene. The other two were taken to hospitals to treat a critical face injury and a gunshot wound to the leg.

The deceased was identified by the Medical Examiner’s office as 21-year-old male, Donald James Connelly. Court records found a history of drug-related offenses. Detectives will not release the names of the other victims due to safety concerns.

"I thought I heard fireworks. Then I saw a guy running down the street. As soon as I saw the guy running, I put two and two together," said neighbor Karen Potts.

Two men were seen speeding away from the scene in a blue Honda Civic, according to witnesses. Although police can’t tell the public much about the investigation, the shooting is thought to be gang related.
