Aug 1, 2012, 6:07 AM | Updated: 8:39 am

A 19-year-old man was shot and killed early Wednesday in an
apartment at Skyway, just south of Seattle.

King County Sheriff’s Sgt. Cindi West says the man was shot
in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene.

West says there were four other adults in the apartment, as
well as four children ages 2-to-7. The children were still
asleep when police arrived.

Witnesses reportedly saw two men running from the apartment.
But West says it’s not clear whether those men were suspects
or other people that may have been fleeing the gunfire.

West says they do not have any suspects at this time.

“We’re still trying to figure out what led up to the
shooting,” says West.
