Two teenagers have been arrested for allegedly shooting into a transit bus in Lynnwood.

The April 18 shooting at the Swift bus stop on State Route 99 (SR 99) was the result of an altercation between the teens and another passenger, according to police. Multiple witnesses told police the teens were making gang signs with their hands, before exiting the bus and firing multiple shots into it.

Lynwood Police Department (LPD), with support from the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force, arrested and booked a 19-year-old man on charges of first-degree attempted murder, felony harassment, and second-degree malicious mischief. The second suspect, a 17-year-old, was booked on the same charges as well as an additional charge for the second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.

The Lynnwood Police Department has not yet revealed the names of the suspects. This investigation is ongoing.
