Kent Police are still trying to sort out what appears to be a gang-related shooting on Sunday afternoon in the 25600 block of 29th Avenue South<\/a> on the West Hill.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nobody appears to have been hit or injured during the gunfire exchange, said Kent Police spokeswoman Melanie Robinson in a Monday email.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Officers responded to a shooting at about 4:39 p.m. outside of a residence, just south of the Fred Meyer store. A man on foot, standing outside his home, exchanged gunfire with four people in a SUV. Police pursued the SUV which came to a stop at a dead end road at an undisclosed address. The four inside the vehicle fled on foot.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Officers caught two of the four suspects and arrested an 18-year Kent man and 15-year-old Tukwila boy on undisclosed offenses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the limited information thus far, it appears to be gang related,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cInvestigators are still trying to sort all of the details out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Police detained the man on foot and he is cooperating with investigators, Robinson said.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
