4 wounded in Bothell-area shooting

A shooting incident in Bothell early Saturday morning left four men injured, with two requiring immediate medical attention at Harborview Medical Center. The shooting occurred around 3:40 a. m. in the parking lot of an apartment complex located at 2005 185th Place SE. The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office described the shooting as gang-related and reported that two victims were in critical condition due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses reported seeing several individuals fleeing the scene in a white vehicle, with information still pending about their identities and whereabouts. Approximately 20 minutes later, two additional men with gunshot injuries were dropped off at a nearby hospital, believed to be linked to the incident. Authorities have not provided a clear motive, and the victims are reportedly uncooperative with investigators. Sheriff’s Lt. Dave Hayes emphasized that while a crime clearly occurred, numerous questions remain unanswered.

This incident marks the second shooting involving multiple injuries in Snohomish County within a short timeframe, heightening concerns about rising gang violence in the area.
