LAKE STEVENS — A man remains in jail for a Nov. 12 shooting in Lake Stevens.

He was being held Tuesday on $50,000 bail for investigation of second-degree domestic violence assault, according to Lake Stevens police.

The shooting happened about 6 p.m. near the McDonald’s at Frontier Village. A husband and wife who are going through a divorce were having a custody exchange of their two children, both younger than 5, detective Dean Thomas said.

Witnesses saw the man firing a gun in the woman’s direction. Reports varied on whether he was trying to hit her. No one was injured. He was arrested and booked.

The police department did not release any information on the shooting for nearly two weeks.
