VANCOUVER, Wash. (KPTV) - The Vancouver Police Department is investigating three shootings that happened over the weekend.

The first shooting occurred Saturday, at about 3:46 p.m., on East 25th Street, between Main Street and Broadway Street. Police said two men, each armed with a handgun, were walking eastbound on the southside of E. 25th Street when they heard multiple gunshots behind them. The men turned around to find that they were being shot at by people inside a dark-colored vehicle and returned fire.

According to police, a Clark PUD utility conduit was hit by gunfire, cutting off power servicing some homes, as well as Walgreens and Hi-School Pharmacy.

No injuries were reported. The shooting is being investigated by the Safe Streets Task Force.

The second shooting happened, just after 11 p.m., in the 2900 East 20th Street. Police said the victim was standing outside a convenience store when a vehicle drove southbound on Fairmount Avenue and a person inside the vehicle shot at the victim multiple times.

The victim was hit by gunfire, as well as the convenience store. The victim sustained a non-life-threatening injury.

According to police, the suspect vehicle was found and a chase began. Officers lost sight of the suspect vehicle in the area of Southeast 98th Avenue and Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard.
