Lynnwood, WA** Local News

A troubling incident unfolded in Everett, Washington, when a Seattle man was arrested for allegedly shooting his boss in the face during a visit to the manager's home. The 43-year-old suspect had knocked on the door, claiming he needed to discuss child support paperwork, and was allowed inside. The pair shared a cigarette and engaged in what appeared to be a friendly conversation. However, the situation took a dark turn when the suspect, expressing distress over his lack of friends, unexpectedly drew a . 22-caliber pistol and shot his boss.

The victim, a 34-year-old man, quickly realized he had been shot and escaped to call 911, suffering non-life-threatening injuries. Following the shooting, the suspect fled to the Tulalip Resort Casino, approximately seven miles away, where he booked a room using his employer's credit card. Police discovered the suspect in his hotel room, where they also found a magazine for the firearm used in the attack. He was arrested and remains in custody while the investigation continues, raising serious concerns about workplace safety and mental health issues.
