Police say a struggle started and the suspect, identified as Vincent Donini pulled a gun and shot Bryan in both wrists before fleeing the area and eventually being arrested in Sunnyside.

POLICE SAY THE SUSPECT WAS A KNOWN GANG MEMBER AND HAD SHOPLIFTED IN THE PAST

He's being held in the Yakima County jail. Bail set at $500,000. Donini was known to officials at the mall after being banned from the facility in 2021 for shoplifting. Union Gap Police say Donini is a documented gang member from Yakima.
