EVERETT — Major crimes detectives from the Everett Police Department are investigating a shooting that left two men dead and another hospitalized Monday. Officers are still working to identify the suspect, who police say fled before their arrival.
Police responded to a house on Lexington Avenue after a report of shots fired just after 4 p.m. and found a man in his 40s suffering from gunshot wounds in the doorway. He was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center, the Seattle Times reported.
Officers found two other men with gunshot wounds unresponsive inside the house. Authorities tried to save the men, who were also in their 40s, but they were declared dead.
