Seattle suburb shooting kills 1 person, 1 officer injured

A Seattle suburb shooting on Wednesday morning killed one person, and injured one officer. The officers were at two different scenes when the shooting occurred.

A police officer in a Seattle suburb was shot and another person died early Wednesday morning, officials said.

Few details have been released, including the condition of the officer, how the other person died or why officers were investigating two neighboring businesses in Everett, located about 30 miles north of Seattle, the Seattle Times reported.

The officer was taken to a hospital and was alive, said Courtney O’Keefe, a spokesperson for the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team.

The response team, which includes various county law enforcement agencies and the Washington State Patrol, responds to and investigates police use of force.

Officers were at two scenes, a department store and a neighboring car dealership, O’Keefe said.

There were no other reported injuries in the shooting, which occurred between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.

Before the shooting, Everett police responded to a 911 call with multiple officers and suspects involved. It was not immediately clear if this was related.
