MOSES LAKE - Police are investigating the death of a Moses Lake man who was apparently shot while driving.

Saturday at about 1:30 a.m. Moses Lake police responded to a report of gunshots being fired on Highland Drive, according to Moses Lake Police Chief Dean Mitchell.

A Moses Lake officer and Grant County deputy in the vicinity at the time of the shooting arrived to find Guadalupe R. Sanchez, 26, in a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds, Mitchell said.

Sanchez was transported to Samaritan Hospital before being transferred to Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane for treatment.
