NAMPA, Idaho (KBOI) — A girl was hit by a stray bullet during a shooting at a Nampa area Walmart late Wednesday night.
Nampa Police are investigating a shooting in the area of the Walmart on Franklin Road Wednesday night.
Officers were called to the scene just after 10 p.m. after getting multiple reports of gunshots being fired. Nampa Police says 21-year-old Ezri Garcia and another man got into a fight and started shooting at each other in front of the store.
Both Garcia and the man exchanged gunfire. The 21-year-old Nampa resident suffered a head injury, however, it's unknown how that injury occurred.
The other suspect, described as a Hispanic man with a small build and who was wearing a black shirt, is on the run. He was seen leaving in a dark colored vehicle.
Nampa PD says a girl in an adjacent parking lot was hit by a gunshot in the shoulder. She was taken to the hospital with injuries that are not considered to be life-threatening.
The shooting occurred near the annual God and Country Festival at the Idaho Center, which was preparing to wrap up the night's events with a fireworks show.
"This is a very unfortunate event to take place where families are gathered for a fun event," said Capt. Curt Shankel. "Officers were quick to the scene and were able to take control quickly and apprehend a suspect without any further incident. We are continuing to investigate this shooting and looking for the other suspect involved."
More information will be reported as it becomes available.
