FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — One person was injured in a potential road rage shooting on State Route 18 in Federal Way Thursday morning.
The shooting happened at about 10:25 a.m.
The driver of a Honda Civic told Washington State Patrol that she was driving southbound on Interstate 5 near the Enchanted Parkway/SR 18 exit and another car was driving erratically next to her. The driver in the suspect vehicle allegedly gave the victim the middle finger before pulling ahead of the victim and drastically slowing down.
The cars started traveling eastbound on SR 18, and the suspect vehicle pulled next to the victim.
A passenger fired a gun at her before fleeing, according to Washington State Patrol.
A bullet shattered the glass of the victim's driver's side window, traveling through the Civic and exiting through the passenger window. The bullet "narrowly" missed the victim, according to WSP.
A shard of glass from the broken window cut the driver on her head and neck. She was taken to the hospital.
Police are searching for the two suspects and the suspect vehicle, which is described as an older off-white passenger car. The driver is described as a slender woman in her 20s with shoulder-length hair. The passenger is described as a slender male with short hair and a white t-shirt.
This is at least the third highway shooting in two days on western Washington roadways.
A driver reported their car was shot at on I-5 near South 200th Street in SeaTac on Wednesday morning. The driver said another car was tailgating them and pulled along the passenger side before shooting what appeared to be a handgun.
The back passenger window shattered, and the suspect fled.
Police determined a pellet gun was used in the shooting.
Later on Wednesday, the occupants of two vehicles exchanged gunfire on I-5 north of State Route 900 in King County. In that incident, two cars entered traffic from the shoulder. The occupant of a Kia fired shots at a Dodge Charger with children inside. The driver of the Dodge Charger then fired a shot at the Kia.
