LYNNWOOD, Wash. — Three suspects are on the run after shooting at officers near Alderwood Mall late Sunday night, according to police.
The Lynnwood Police Department said officers were called just after 7 p.m. for an unrelated theft call in the Target parking lot on Alderwood Mall Parkway. Officers spotted a stolen Hyundai target a 13-year-old and 15-year-old walking through the parking lot. Police said the suspects intentionally struck the 15-year-old, causing him to fall to the ground with minor injuries. Investigators said there appears to be no relationship between the 13-year-old, 15-year-old, and the suspects in the stolen Hyundai.
According to police, the stolen Hyundai took off, leading officers on a short pursuit onto the Interstate 5 southbound on-ramp. Officers stopped the stolen vehicle using a PIT maneuver when the suspects started repeatedly shooting at law enforcement. Police returned fire and the suspects fled on foot. No officers were injured in the shooting, according to a Lynnwood police spokesperson.
Investigators said three suspects are on the run and are believed to have been picked up by people uninvolved with the incident. The Lynnwood Police Department asked the public on Monday to contact detective Russ Sattarov at 425-670-5633 or email rsattarov@lynnwoodwa.gov with information.
