EDMONDS — An 18-year-old male is in critical condition Thursday after suspects shot him multiple times, Edmonds police said.
Around 2:30 a.m., the 18-year-old and his sister were walking along the Edmonds Pier, when they encountered four to six males in the area of Dayton Street and Admiral Way, according to police.
After a brief verbal exchange, police said one or more suspects shot the victim multiple times, who then fled the area on foot. No suspects are in custody or have been identified at this time.
The sister ran for safety and was able to call 911. Arriving officers located the victim and provided life-saving measures, including tourniquets and chest seals. Fire/EMS crews transported the victim to Harborview Medical Center, where he remains in critical condition.
Based on the current information, police do not believe an ongoing public safety threat exists. Detectives do not have suspect descriptions as of 9 a.m. Thursday. They continue to search for available surveillance footage from the area.
