Edmonds police investigate gunshot death of 27-year-old man

“Detectives are still sorting out what took place” Saturday night, police said.

EDMONDS — A 27-year-old man died after being rushed to Harborview Medical Center Saturday night with a gunshot wound.

Edmonds police officers were called to a house in the 17700 block of 76th Avenue West at about 11:25 p.m., according to a news release from the police department. People in the house reported having heard a gunshot upstairs.

Officers found an Edmonds area man with a gunshot wound. An aid crew took him to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was later pronounced dead.

Detectives were on scene overnight and the Washington State Patrol crime lab has been helping with evidence collection, according to the news release.

“Because this investigation is still in the early phases, detectives are still sorting out what took place,” police said.

No additional information about the shooting was immediately available.
