CENTRALIA – Police are investigating a robbery in a south Centralia neighborhood that neighbors say included multiple gunshots.
The victim suffered a minor injury, not from being shot but from being hit, according to the Centralia Police Department.
Officers were called about 12:40 p.m. today to the 200 block of East Van Buren Street, just off South Gold.
Detectives are at the scene, where multiple yellow evidence markers have been placed on the street.
Around-the-corner neighbor Jay Jones was decorating his Christmas tree with his girlfriend when he heard multiple gunshots.
The first couple were distinct, but the “pops” that followed came so fast he couldn’t count them, Jones said.
Police Sgt. Kurt Reichert said further details would be released when an officer is available.
More to come.
