KENT, Wash. — Police are looking for at least one gunman after a shooting at a Kent apartment complex that ended in a bizarre crash.

It all started on the 24000 block of 108th Place where a man was shot in the arm.

"Nauseating.  Very scary, upsetting,” said Jennifer Schultz.

She told us she felt all of those emotions when she came to the Bryson Square Apartments to pick up her daughter from a party.   She had no idea there had been a shooting there and that her daughter Samea was so close to the danger.

"We were all just inside,” Samea explained.

She says about eight people were in an apartment just feet away from where a man was shot in the parking lot.  A stray bullet struck a vehicle and another of the bottom-floor apartments, all while two men were working on a car outside.

Kent police say the shooting victim got into another vehicle and left the scene.

They don't know if he was driving or just a passenger, but a few miles away off 108th the car crashed and he bailed out of it.

Police found him within seconds because their substation is just up the hill.

Officers say he is the only victim-- at least that they know of.

"Too early to tell. With the multiple calls we have gotten and the multiple scenes, we're trying to piece that together,” Commander Jarod Kasner said of the investigation.

Six hours later, police were still trying to do that. A large section of the Bryson Square Apartments remained taped off as of 10 p.m. Saturday.
