WAPATO -- A 32-year-old man was hospitalized in satisfactory condition Wednesday after being shot in the chest outside of Wapato, according to the Yakima County Sheriff's Office.
The incident took place about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 100 block of Winaway Road. The man was standing in his driveway after someone rang his doorbell when he was struck by one shot from a handgun, deputies said.
The victim ran to the car of a friend who had just pulled into the driveway and first was taken to Toppenish Community Hospital before being sent to Yakima Regional Cardiac and Medical Center, where he was listed in satisfactory condition, according to deputies.
The victim told police that he didn't know the gunman, who he described as wearing a blue bandana over his face. The suspect's vehicle was described as a maroon four-door, possibly an import, with tinted windows. It was heading north on North Track Road toward Wapato.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Yakima County Sheriff's Office at 574-2500.
