The suspect from a wild shootout and chase July 10th near Moses Lake is facing severe charges.

   The Quincy Police Department is helping lead the investigation

Due to transparency and fairness requirements, no one from the Grant County Sheriff's Office or Moses Lake PD is involved in the investigation. The afternoon of July 10th, 42-year-old Robert Gwinn was spotted driving a 2010 Nissan Altima by Deputies Tyson Voss and Nic Dirks of the Grant County Sheriff's office. They were assisting bail bondsmen from Spokane, who are attempting to apprehend Gwinn near Moses Lake.

Gwinn had pulled into a driveway on Stratford Road NE and Deputy Voss pulled over to make contact. Gwinn then jumped out, and fired several shots at the still-moving patrol car. Deputy Voss returned fire, as Deputy Dirks arrived at the scene.

Gwinn then entered a shop on the property and fired again at the officers. He then entered the home and was confronted by an armed homeowner who ordered him to leave. He did but stole a set of keys and drove off in the homeowner's Jeep.
