One day, three Yakima County shootings
YAKIMA COUNTY, Wash. -- Three separate shootings in Yakima County in less than 24 hours.
One resulted from a burglary in Zillah. The other two were in Yakima and blamed on gangs.
YPD says it is hard to solve these kinds of cases when no one cooperates.
"When you have a victim that won't cooperate. You may have half a dozen witnesses standing there watching it go down and not talking to us-they didn't see anything. So it makes our job very difficult then to identify, make an arrest, and successfully prosecute these people," said YPD Captain Rod Light.
The shootings are still being investigated. At this time, investigators don't believe the two in Yakima are related.

 my brothers neighbors house has been fired at 3 or 4 times this last week . the last time the guy shot with a pistol, casualy walked back to his car pulled out an ak-47 and emptied a 30 round clip into the house. the police came 15 minutes later. picked up the shell casings and said " it's just a matter of time now" and left. noone answered the door so they just left, house riddled with bullet holes ! not thinking perhaps the people inside were dead. they just left, with shoddy police work like this you think these little punk gang bangers are gonna ever stop? my brother lives 3 BLOCKS from the police station. theres no fear of reprisal. if they do get caught they go hang out with freinds in prison for a couple of years , learn more ways to do crime , and they are your neighbors again. arm yourself and be aware. better to be judged by 12 than carried to a grave by 6.
If that's the case then arrest the victim with obstruction of justice
along with all his gang members .
their going to retaliate sooner or later nip at the bud before it escalates any further
and the innocent get hurt
