Shooting victim in serious condition: A 20-year-old man who was shot in the face Thursday night during a road-rage incident remained in serious condition Saturday as investigators chased down at least eight leads about the shooter.
Washington State Patrol troopers on Saturday were still looking for the driver who fired into the car carrying James D. Comer of Mount Vernon. The bullet struck Comer’s right cheek and lodged at the base of his skull.
The incident began around 10 p.m. Thursday after a car carrying Comer and two other men tried to merge onto I-5 near Smokey Point, according to the State Patrol. But a man in a minivan sped up and would not allow them to move onto the highway.
A dispute occurred between the vehicles that ended with the driver of the minivan firing three shots at the car.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the State Patrol at 360-658-1345.
