A man was arrested Sunday night after allegedly firing a handgun, causing debris to ricochet and hit another man in the face, during an apparent drug deal in a parking lot in central Vancouver, according to the Vancouver Police Department.
Police responded at about 8:30 p.m. to a reported disturbance with a weapon at the Walmart Neighborhood Market, 2201 Grand Blvd.
Arriving officers found a man who suffered a facial injury, and they learned he and another man were allegedly conducting a drug deal in the parking lot, according to a department news release.
The interaction turned violent, and the suspect grabbed a handgun and fired it at the feet of the victim, causing either fragments of brick or projectile to ricochet and strike the victim’s face, police said.
