One person was fatally shot and another has life threatening injuries following a shooting early Saturday morning near Washington State University’s (WSU) campus, the Pullman Police Department (PPD) confirmed.

Just after midnight, police were called to a party at the 1200 block of Northeast Myrtle Street for a report of a loud party with possibly 200 people in attendance.

When officers were arriving, they reported hearing multiple gunshots. Police found two men with gunshot wounds near Williams Drive and Lybecker Road.

They were transported to the Pullman Regional Hospital, where one of them died. The other man was transported by Lifeflight to a hospital in Spokane.

PPD said at least one of the men has been confirmed a WSU student. The names are not being released until family has been notified.

An investigation is underway and the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory is expected to be on scene later this morning. Police say this appears to be an isolated incident and they don’t believe there’s an active shooter. (KHQ)
