According to a Spokane Police Department news release, "shortly after that, officers advised shots were fired" and a gun was recovered from the scene. No officers were injured, but the man was taken to the hospital. This is the third time Spokane police shot a man within the last week, and
as the Spokesman-Review reports, the man shot yesterday is the same schizophrenic man who was shot eight times by officers outside a homeless shelter in 2014.
