FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – Police were investigating a fatal shooting Tuesday – the second deadly shooting in less than 24 hours in the city.
Federal Way police say officers were called to the 2200 block of S. 333rd Street in the Twin Lakes neighborhood at 11:37 p.m. Monday after a man was seen slumped over in a vehicle. They found a Tacoma man, 27, dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Police believe the shooting happened at that location.
The discovery came the same day a Seattle man was found dead in an apartment after being shot in the back. That happened a few blocks away from the King County Aquatic Center. Police have not said if the two shootings are related. They have not released information on suspects in either shooting.
There was a third shooting just after 9 a.m. Monday in the 3000 block of S. 288th Street when a 21-year-old Federal Way resident was shot in the chest by a 19-year-old Federal Way resident. Police both were in the same vehicle with several other people when it happened. The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center. There was no immediate word on the victim’s condition or arrests.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Federal Way Police Department at 253-835-2121 or leave a tip at www.safecityfw.com.
