EVERETT — A teenager was wounded in a shooting Friday afternoon in south Everett.
The young man, 18, suffered a gunshot wound around 1:25 p.m. on East Casino Road near Cascade High School, according to the Everett Police Department.
He was taken by ambulance to Providence Regional Regional Medical Center Everett.
It was initially reported as a drive-by shooting.
“Everett Police checked the area with a K-9 and it is believed there are no suspects on or near the CHS campus,” police wrote on Facebook.
The teen was not a student at Cascade and the school was not in session at the time of the police response, according to police.
Everett officers blocked off about a half mile of Casino Road, from 7th Avenue SE to Kossuth Avenue, as they searched for the shooter.
A suspect description had not been made public.
The gunfire was about 1½ miles east of the scene of a shooting Sept. 8 that killed one boy, 15, who had been waiting for a school bus. The September shooting was believed to be connected to gang violence.
Police had not released any information about a motive in the Friday shooting.
