~ Spokane Police responded to a reported drive-by shooting on February 18, 2026 at approximately 4 p.m. in the area of W. Maxwell Ave and N. Howard St. According to one witness, a male suspect was seen firing a handgun from a black pickup truck.
As officers arrived at the scene, additional calls came in reporting the same suspect displaying a firearm in a threatening manner at various locations in west Spokane. One specific location was given as Ash and Maxwell.
After locating the truck in the downtown area, officers attempted to stop it once it was safe to do so. However, the male suspect refused to cooperate and fled from police. Due to concerns for public safety, officers initiated a brief pursuit.
The Spokane Regional Air Support Unit (SRASU) was called in to assist SPD in monitoring the suspect's movements from above. For the safety of the public, officers backed away from the suspect while SRASU continued to track him.
