AUBURN, Wash. — Two people were injured in a shootout at an Auburn gas station Tuesday evening.

At around 6 p.m., Auburn Police responded to reports of a shooting at a Chevron on 5100 Auburn Way North. Officers found one person with a gunshot wound when they arrived.

Quickly after that, another man was found with a gunshot wound in Kent. 

According to the Auburn Police Department, one of the shooters was standing outside of the car and the other was inside. A confrontation between the two led to an exchange of gunfire. The shooter in the car drove off and was later found in Kent, while the other shooter was found at the scene.
