One man was critically hurt in an early-morning shooting while hanging out by the Edmonds pier with his sister.
According to Edmonds police, 911 received a call from the sister around 2:30 a.m., saying that her brother had been shot.
Edmonds PD says that a quick response from officers and medical crews helped save the man’s life, as aid was administered quickly and the man, who is said to be in his late teens or early 20s, was quickly taken to Harborview Medical Center with multiple gunshot wounds.
After speaking with the sister, Edmonds PD learned that the two were at the waterfront near the ferry terminal and Arnies restaurant, which is a common spot to hang out and fish, even late into the evening.
Police say four to six men in dark clothing approached the two and confronted them. Following a “very brief verbal exchange” at least one of the suspects, maybe two, opened fire on the victim.
The siblings did not appear to know this group, and the suspects ran off.
Law enforcement from multiple jurisdictions responded, including Marysville, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, and “everywhere in between”, according to Edmonds police.
