###ORIGINAL MESSAGE BELOW###

On Tuesday November 7, 2017, at 11:19 p.m., East Precinct officers responded to the report of a shooting in the 1800 block of Southeast 130th Avenue.

Prior to officers responding to the scene, there were multiple callers to 9-1-1 that reported hearing gunfire. When officers arrived in the area they did not locate any victims with gunshot injuries. As officers canvassed the area they located evidence of gunfire, including blood and a home in the 12900 block of Southeast Mills Street with a bullet strike.

No suspects were located during an area search of the neighborhood.

As officers continued their investigation they learned the shooting was likely connected with an earlier fight at Rachel's Bar and Grill, located at 12510 Southeast Division Street.

Approximately 30 minutes after the initial calls to 9-1-1, an area hospital contacted police when a gunshot victim arrived at the hospital by private vehicle. The gunshot victim had sustained serious non-life-threatening injuries as a result of this shooting.

Based on information learned during the investigation, the Gang Enforcement Team responded to the location and assisted with the investigation.

This is the 98th major crime incident investigated by the Gang Enforcement Team in 2017.
