>>LATEST ARTICLE UPDATE: Edmonds Shooting Update: Shooter targeted two teens, shot one
EDMONDS, Wash., April 22, 2023—Edmonds Police are currently investigating a drive-by shooting incident that took place Saturday evening on 76th Avenue W less than 1,000 feet from Edmonds Woodway High School to the south and 800 feet to the north from College Place Middle School. The 13-year-old male victim has been transported to Harborview Medical Center and is in stable condition.
This is the third violent incident in South County in the last 72 hours including a fatal stabbing in a WinCo parking lot on Wednesday, just about a mile away from Saturday’s shooting, and a recent shooting in Lynnwood near 48th and 200th.
Description of the shooter is a male of unknown race wearing a black hoody, black sweatpants, and a mask. He has been reported to be driving a white, Colorado, two-door pickup truck with lettering on the windshield.
Two witnessed interviewed at the scene informed the Lynnwood Times they heard at least five gun shots and originally thought it was a car’s exhaust backfire blow out. They then immediately heard several police sirens.
