Federal Way police were called to Steel Lake Park just after 10 p.m. Monday for reports of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found two people had been shot. 

A 17-year-old boy died at the scene, and a 22-year-old man was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with life-threatening injuries, police said.

Family members of the boy said they heard a fight had broken out that led to gunfire, and the 17-year-old was killed while trying to run away.

The 12-year-old victim was not associated with the group that was fighting, according to police. He was with his family, preparing to leave the park when the gunfire broke out.
