RENTON, Wash. — One man was sent to the hospital after a police shooting in Renton Wednesday.
Renton police said the shooting occurred at a South Renton Park & Ride station near Lake Avenue South and Shattuck Avenue South around 11:30 a.m.
The Renton Police Department tweeted officers responded to a "possible suicidal subject" after it was reported there was a person with a gun.
Officers spoke with the 24-year-old man near the bus shelters, and he "refused" to comply with verbal commands, according to a Thursday press release from the Valley Independent Investigative Team, which is handling the investigation.
The man took out what police say appeared to be a firearm from his pocket, and officers fired their weapons at him. A spokesperson for the investigative team said the object is believed to have been a realistic BB or pellet gun.
Renton police said one victim was transported to Harborview Medical Center.
