Two people were killed and at least one person injured in an early morning shooting in Renton on Thursday.

The King County Sheriff’s Office says two men were shot and killed in the 11500 block of 161 Ave S.E.

A third victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening gunshot wounds.

When deputies got there, King County Sheriff’s Sergeant DB Gates says a fourth person, the shooter, was gone.

Deputies are interviewing at least 20 people to try to get a description and more information.

Gates said the the gunman opened fire when people at the party were told to leave. The man apparently felt disrespected and may have circled back to shoot people leaving the house.
