All eastbound lanes of US 2 at Homeacres Road in Everett were closed for several hours as Washington State Patrol (WSP) investigated a possible road rage shooting.

The roadway was shut down at approximately 6:40 p.m. Wednesday.

All lanes from I-5 to Homeacres were blocked for a “police investigation.” Initially, traffic was diverted to an off-ramp before the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) shut down the road completely.



It’s unclear exactly what happened, but WSP said there was a shooting possibly stemming from a road rage incident.

Troopers are continuing their investigation.
