LYNNWOOD, Wash. — Detectives with the Lynnwood Police Department are investigating after a DoorDash driver was shot in the shoulder Tuesday night.
Officers were called to Swedish Medical Center in Edmonds after a 36-year-old man with a gunshot wound reportedly drove himself there.
Police say the victim and a friend were delivering food in the 4600 block of 168th Street Southwest when the victim stopped his car because he thought he recognized two men standing outside.
The victim drove off once he realized he didn’t know either person, before the conversation became confrontational.
