A great start with a blustery turn for Tuesday.

Partly cloudy and cooler Wednesday and then a chance of showers and below average temps Thursday and Friday.

A woman was sent to the hospital after being involved in a drive-by shooting in North West Spokane Monday morning. The shooting occurred near the 1300 block of West Augusta.

A woman was walking just after midnight when she says she saw a car pull up, followed by a shot that hit her in the backside.

The woman was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

?We are talking to her. Unfortunately, she didn?t get a good look at the car or get a description of who the shooter is,? said Lieutenant Dave McCabe.

She identified the car as either a blue or purple sedan. Police are still searching for that vehicle. If anyone knows anything about this case, they are asked to call 911.
