Two teens accused of shooting at Grandview police officer's home in drive-by
Two teens are accused of opening fire on a Grandview police officer's home in Benton County Monday afternoon.
The unnamed juveniles were the driver and the front passenger in a Dodge Neon about 4 p.m. when they approached the officer's home on the border between Benton and Yakima counties.
Three adults, including two 19-year-old women and a 20-year-old man, were in the back seat.
The teen in the passenger's seat allegedly opened fire after seeing the patrol car in front of the home, Benton County Sgt. Horacio Gonzalez said.
No one was hit in shooting. It remains unclear if any property was damaged.
The Grandview officer spotted the Neon and called 911. The Neon was stopped in Grandview minutes later. All five people inside were arrested.
The two teens are being held in lieu of $100,000 for 72-hours in Benton-Franklin Juvenile Detention.
The three adults were released from the Benton County jail Tuesday. Deputy Prosecutor Brooke Sempel said prosecutors might file charges later.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Horacio Gonzalez at 509-735-6555 or the non-emergency dispatch number

Dating app meetup leads to shooting, arrests in Oregon: Police
Two women have been arrested in connection with a dating app scheme that led to the shooting of a man in Corvallis, Oregon, authorities said. Julia Dell Yepez, 20, and Alexa Montano Corral, 20, were taken into custody following an investigation into the May 17 shooting of a man they allegedly met through the Chispa dating app, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Office. Investigators believe the women used the app to lure the victim with the intention of robbery. The victim, who has not been identified, remains hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Chispa is a dating app where Latino and Latina singles can connect with others in their area. The company did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment. According to investigators, Yepez and Corral are also suspects in similar criminal activity in a nearby county. The incident unfolded around 5:30 a.m. local time on May 17 when emergency dispatchers received a 911 call reporting a shooting near Highway 99W and Lakeside Drive in Corvallis. Witnesses described seeing two Hispanic women, one wearing a long-sleeve black shirt, fleeing the scene on foot. Yepez was arrested Tuesday and faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, first-degree assault and kidnapping. She is being held at the Benton County Jail on $300,000 bail, court records show. Corral, who was arrested Thursday, faces multiple conspiracy charges. Her bail was set at $250,000, according to court records. The case has prompted authorities to issue renewed warnings about dating app safety. "Always meet in public and never isolate yourself until you are certain of the other person's intentions," the sheriff's office advised in a statement. Anyone who may have had contact with either suspect through dating apps is urged to contact the Benton County Sheriff's Office or submit anonymous tips at 541-573-8477. The investigation remains ongoing with assistance from multiple law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service.
