Two men killed over missing bong


A young man allegedly shot and killed two others at a house in Mead early Saturday. Brandon W. Martin, who turns 19 Wednesday, was booked into the Spokane County Jail on two counts of first-degree murder. Martin had been hanging out at the house at 11600 N. Sheridan and at one point became angry, reportedly accusing those there of stealing a glass drug pipe from his car, a witness said.

Martin left, got a rifle and came back shooting, Sheriff's spokesman Cpl. Dave Wiyrick said.
