EVERETT — A drive-by shooting injured a child and shut down streets Tuesday near Everett Station.

Initial police radio traffic suggested one person had been shot in the leg around 4:15 p.m. near 3201 Smith Ave., with the shooter or shooters reportedly fleeing on Pacific Avenue.

The wounded person was a juvenile and the suspect fled in a vehicle, Everett officer Ora Hamel said. The injuries were not considered life-threatening.

It was unclear what led up to the gunfire.

No vehicle or suspect description was available. Officers did not have a suspect in custody, Hamel said.

Roads were shut down from Broadway to Smith Avenue for a police investigation.

Police had no update on the incident Wednesday.
