2 wounded, 2 arrested in shooting at Everett restaurant
EVERETT -- Two people were hospitalized and two men were arrested on Monday after shots rang out at a north Everett restaurant.
Police believe the pair were unhappy about being told to leave Dos Reales at 1100 Broadway Ave. when the restaurant was closing, Sgt. Robert Goetz said.
Restaurant security escorted three men outside around 2 a.m. Monday, Goetz said. That's when one of the men went to a car parked nearby and retrieved a handgun.
The man then returned to the front of the store and began firing toward the building, striking the victims, according to police reports.
Two people suffered gunshot wounds to their legs. Both were transported to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett for treatment of their injuries. One was released later Monday.
The other remained in "guarded condition," Goetz said.
"It is not clear at this point if the victims were targeted or if they were random victims of the suspect's indiscriminate shooting," Goetz said.
After the shooting, the suspected gunman fled in a vehicle with two others.
Based on their investigation, detectives on Monday afternoon arrested two men believed to be responsible for the shooting, Goetz said. They were taken into custody outside their Marysville home.
The men are brothers, 22 and 26, Goetz said. They were expected to be booked into Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree assault.
No other suspects are being sought, Goetz said. A motive for the shooting wasn't immediately clear on Monday.
