SPOKANE -- A security guard was shot to death outside an apartment complex in East Spokane Tuesday night.
Spokane Police say it happened around 11:00 p.m. near Pacific and Myrtle, between the Pacific Plaza Apartment Complex and the Pepsi Building.
Police say Securitas security guard, George Hayek, 26, was shot and killed after an argument with a group of people outside the apartments.
Detectives believe Hayek was conducting his rounds, and engaged in words with people standing outside the apartments. Police say the argument led to threats, and Hayek pulled out a BB gun.
A witness told KREM 2 News a man responded by pulling out his own gun, and shooting Hayek at point-blank range in the chest and abdomen. Police say several rounds were fired.
The witness said a fence was separating the guard from the group of people, and the shooter jumped over the fence and attempted to perform CPR on Hayek.
Police say they arrived on scene to find the shooter administering CPR, but Hayek died on scene.
Police report all involved parties have been interviewed but no arrests have been made.
The witness told KREM 2 news the shooter possibly has a background in nursing.
