Two people were injured in a drive-by shooting on SR 167 near SR 410 in Sumner early Monday morning.
The driver in a black Mazda 6 passed the victim’s car in the left shoulder, narrowly avoiding a collision.
He rolled down his passenger side window and shot at the victim’s car. The bullet hit an 18-year-old man sitting in the left rear passenger seat and continued on, hitting a 17-year-old woman sitting in the front passenger seat.
While the man was struck in the forearm and the woman in the back, WSP says they were not seriously injured. They were both treated at a hospital and released.
“These folks are very lucky to be alive today,” says Trooper Guy Gill. “It could have been so much worse.”
The suspect is described as being a white male with dark hair and no facial hair. Anyone with information about the incident, the vehicle, or the suspect is urged to call Detective Mike Basset at 253-538-3172.
