A 34-year-old Kent man has been arrested in connection with a double shooting that killed two people near Kent’s Panther Lake neighborhood on East Hill Tuesday night, as the city also dealt with a separate fatal stabbing later that evening.
Officers were called to a home along SE 210th Place at approximately 10:20 p.m. after reports of gunshots. Callers also reported hearing an argument and vehicles speeding away from the area. When Kent police arrived, they found two people with gunshot wounds behind a home and immediately began lifesaving measures. Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority medics relieved officers at the scene, but both victims died from their wounds. The victims, a 25-year-old Seattle resident and a 26-year-old Federal Way resident, are believed to have known the shooter, according to police.
