Two WSU Pullman students shot in Vancouver

Vancouver police are looking for suspects in a July 13 shooting that injured two Washington State University students. Ryan Quinlan and Wahed Magee, both from the Pullman campus, were taken to area hospitals, each with a gunshot wound.

A group of WSU students were at the Vancouver family home of Christopher Weese, also a student, when a group of young men tried to gain entrance. When not allowed into the home, the suspects left, but reportedly began vandalizing nearby cars.

Police were called, and Magee and others tried to stop the vandalism when the shooting occurred, stated observers. Magee was shot in the stomach, while Quinlan, who was on the home’s porch, suffered a wound near the shoulder from a stray bullet.

“We are very concerned about the condition of the students,” said Charlene Jaeger, vice president for Student Affairs. “We are grateful for the efforts of Vancouver police and others … We know (the students) are now receiving the best care possible,” she added.
