SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department (SPD) says two teen boys were arrested after a shooting on Wednesday afternoon in the Mount Baker neighborhood.
Now, police are looking for two more possible suspects.
SPD says the shooting happened at around 1 p.m. near South Byron Street and Westmore Avenue South.
Officers arrived, found multiple shell casings at the scene, and witnesses reported seeing two teens running from the area, SPD said.
Police arrested the two boys, aged 16 and 17, and found a modified handgun with an extended magazine and a “switch” which allows the gun to fire in full auto.
The teens were convicted felons prohibited from having guns, SPD said. They were booked into juvenile detention at the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children & Family Justice Center.
Nearby Franklin High School was placed on a lockdown, and John Muir Elementary School issued a shelter-in-place after the shooting.
SPD learned the boys were involved in the shooting with two others who have not been found.
No injuries were reported.
Seattle police are investigating a shooting near the 3300 block of Wetmore Ave S. Police detained two subjects and recovered a gun. No injuries reported. Officers actively searching for suspect(s). Please avoid the area.
