Man shot in Lake Stevens in apparent road-rage incident

Two men in their 60s got into an argument at a Safeway fuel station. The shooter turned himself in.

LAKE STEVENS — No one was seriously injured in a shooting Tuesday evening at the Safeway Fuel Station in Lake Stevens, according to police.

Two men in their 60s got into an argument around 5 p.m. near the gas pumps, said Lake Stevens Police Sgt. Robert Miner. One man shot the other. The wounded man was transported to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett with non-life-threatening injuries. Police do not believe the men knew each other.

The shooter called police to turn himself in shortly after, Miner said.

As of Wednesday evening, no arrests had been made.

The fight had something to do with traffic, Miner said, and it sounded like one of the men cut the other off.

“It was basically a road-rage incident, not on the road,” Miner said.
