A late-night confrontation along the Edmonds waterfront ended with a 15-year-old Bellevue boy in handcuffs early Saturday, after police say he fired shots at a car and grazed one occupant's arm. The vehicle carried a group that included two women from Lynnwood, another woman and a 17-year-old from Marysville, and none of them required hospitalization. Detectives stayed on scene for hours and investigators impounded a vehicle as part of the ongoing probe.
According to Edmonds police, officers were called just after 1:10 a.m. for reports of gunfire in the 400 block of Admiral Way, near the Anthony’s parking lot. They located the teen in the waterfront area shortly before 3 a.m. and took him into custody, as reported by KOMO News.
What Police Say Happened
Investigators say the incident involved two groups at the waterfront who had a history of disputes, and that the suspect was known to one of the victims. Police identified the people in the targeted vehicle as a 20-year-old woman from Lynnwood, two 18-year-old women from Lynnwood and a 17-year-old girl from Marysville. An 18-year-old Lynnwood woman suffered a grazing wound to her arm and was evaluated at the scene.
Where It Happened
The shooting unfolded along the 400 block of Admiral Way, a busy stretch of Edmonds waterfront lined with restaurants, docks and a marina-side parking area. Anthony’s HomePort Edmonds sits close by. It is listed at 456 Admiral Way on local guides such as Visit Seattle.
Charges And What Comes Next
The teen was booked into the Denney Juvenile Justice Center on suspicion of two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of reckless endangerment and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, authorities said. KOMO News reported the booking. Denney is the county juvenile facility in Everett where juveniles are held pending court, according to Snohomish County.
Investigation Still Active
Edmonds detectives say the investigation remains active and are asking anyone with information to contact the police department. Officers are reviewing witness statements and available video from the waterfront as they work to piece together the events leading up to the gunfire.
