Police said there was still limited information regarding the shootings as of 10 a.m. Friday and that the investigation was ongoing.

The two incidents occurred less than a mile from one another. However, it was still unclear whether or not the two incidents were connected, nor were there any details released on potential suspects.

The shooting investigations occurred amidst a pursuit early Friday morning that led King County deputies from Maple Valley into Kent.

Two burglary suspects were eventually taken into custody after losing control of their vehicle about 4 miles north of the two shooting scenes.

Kent police, along with various other agencies, assisted in the arrest of the suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kent Police Department.
