KENT, Wash. — Two men in their 20s were killed in a shooting at a Kent home late last night, according to police.
Kent police first responded to reports of a shooting at a residence along 120th Place SE at 10:22 p.m. on Tuesday.
911 callers told police that there were initially sounds of an argument and cars speeding off.
Arriving officers allegedly heard someone yelling from behind the residence, where they found two people who had been shot.
The two victims, a 25-year-old Seattle man and a 26-year-old Federal Way man, both died despite life-saving efforts from Kent PD and Puget Sound Fire crews.
As of 7 a.m. Wednesday, Kent PD detectives were still processing the scene and interviewing witnesses.
“While the suspect(s) are currently at large, they are believed to have known the victims,” said Kent police.
Just hours after the shooting, a man was stabbed to death outside a nearby bar, but police say the two incidents are not connected.
