WALLA WALLA, Wash. – A Walla Walla man was shot at a Circle K but is expected to live, according to the Walla Walla Police Department.

According to WWPD, officers responded to a call just after 1:30 a.m. to a report that a man was shot and the shooter had escaped in a car.

In a press release, officials said the victim and suspect arrived at Circle K in different vehicles before an argument turned into a physical fight between the victim and another man from the suspect’s car. During the fight, the suspect pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots at the 20-year-old victim, hitting him at least once.

The victim was transported to Providence St. Mary Medical Center, according to the WWPD.
