BURIEN, Wash. — Burien police say a man died Wednesday after he was shot inside his vehicle with a 2-year-old child in the car with him.
Police received 911 calls about the shooting just after 8:15 p.m. from community members who heard the sound of gunfire, followed by a vehicle collision.
Police responded to the scene, which was located at SW 129th Street and 4th Avenue SW, and found a man in a vehicle with gunshot wounds and a 2-year-old child, uninjured.
The suspect left the scene before officers arrived, officials said.
The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center where he later died. No further information was provided about the child.
Police are investigating what led up to the shooting. Drivers in that area are advised there may be delays as detectives collect evidence.
The shooting is the latest in a series of deadly gun violence incidents that have occurred in King County since last week. King County is now proposing an emergency budget amendment to add funds to combat the growing problem.
