YAKIMA, Wash. — A 21-year-old man was in serious condition at a Seattle hospital after he was shot in the neck early Sunday morning at a Yakima motel.
Authorities arrrested a 63-year-old man they believe shot Robert H. Tromblee at the Bali Hai Motel, 701 N. First St., according to a news release from the Yakima Police Department.
Officers went to the motel at 2:23 a.m. Sunday and found Tromblee with a gunshot wound to the neck, police said.
It was unclear what promped the shooting, but the two men had been staying in adjacent rooms at the motel, Capt. Greg Copeland wrote in the release. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor.
Tromblee was first taken to Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital, then transfered to Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center.
The 63-year-old was booked into Yakima County Jail. He does not have a criminal record.
