SPOKANE, Wash. — The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office is asking for your help finding two possible theft suspects in Spokane.

Preliminary information from SCSO says a person noticed earlier Sunday morning that two men were trying to steal his mini-excavator on a flatbed trailer connected to his truck near North Bowdish Road and East Boone Avenue in Spokane Valley.

SCSO says the victim of the theft followed the suspects up the street and later confronted them. Later, SCSO says the suspects approached the victim in the car, where the victim fired shots at the suspects.

Spokane County Sheriff Mark Gregory said officers found blood in the car and assume one of the suspects was injured. The cause of the assumed injury is unknown, according to SCSO.
