At least 7 cars hit and 6 people injured in random gunfire on Interstate 5 near Seattle
SEATTLE (AP) — At least seven vehicles traveling along Interstate 5 just south of Seattle were hit by gunfire overnight, leaving at least six people injured before a suspect was taken into custody, officials said Tuesday.
The state patrol did not release any information on the suspect in the shooting that left two people in critical condition and said they would not speculate on his motive. Once they complete their investigation, the case will be turned over to the prosecuting attorney.
The Washington State Patrol has been involved in 37 active investigations into highway shootings in King County, which includes Seattle, since the start of the year, which is similar to the previous two years, Capt. Ron Mead said during a press conference. Statewide, there have been 57 in 2024, he said.
“The fact that somebody intent on creating harm and mayhem to others that are merely driving down the freeway trying to get someplace I think we can all agree, hopefully is unacceptable,” Mead said.
Curious why there is no name or description of the suspect....
