Police said at least one other suspect may be at large, but clarified that they did not believe there was an immediate danger to the public.

  • Two guns were recovered and authorities believe at least two people may have been shooting at each other, though any motive for the shooting is unclear.
  • One shooting suspect, a 15-year-old male, is in custody and police are still searching for at least one other suspect. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 206-233-5000; tips can be provided anonymously.
