quote:

RENTON, Wash. � Washington State Patrol (WSP) is currently investigating a shooting in Renton that injured a child.

The shooting happened near Rainier Avenue South and South Grady Way just after 2:30 p.m. Friday. WSP said a 9-year-old boy was shot in a road rage incident and is suffering life threatening injuries.

�He was struck once in the mouth and once in the upper chest,� said WSP Lt. Chris Noll. �The child has two separate wounds but we're not sure if it's from the same bullet or two separate bullets."

The boy is in critical condition and is being treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WSP said.
Two vehicles were traveling northbound on SR 167 approaching I-405, when they stopped at the intersection of South Grady Way and Rainier Avenue South.

WSP said that's when the driver of the victim's vehicle, a Dodge Durango, got out of their car and approached the suspect's dark blue Ford Mustang. The driver of the Mustang then fired into the victim's vehicle and hit the child.

"The suspect shot into the car on the driver's side and it ricocheted through and hit his son who was in the passenger seat," said Arun Vaidyanathan, who works at Brotherton Cadillac where the father of the child stopped for help after driving away from the shooter. "We got a first aid kit and one of our salespersons who's trained administered first aid until the medics and the police came."

It's still unclear the circumstances leading up to the shooting, although Lt. Noll said it appears the two vehicles may have made contact while still on the highway prior to the shooting.

Late Friday night, State Patrol released a photo of the Ford Mustang involved in the incident. It is a convertible with white writing on the lower part of the front windshield. It may have been driving erratically or been involved in a collision between Kent and Renton just before 2:40 p.m. Investigators are looking for witnesses or anyone who may have photos or video that could assist them in this case.

In addition to the boy who was wounded, Vaidyanathan said there were two other children in the back seat who were not hurt but clearly shaken.

The driver of the suspect vehicle left the scene and troopers are still searching for the person. The Ford Mustang was last seen heading east on SW Grady Way toward Carr Street.

Although the boy is seriously wounded, he is in stable condition. The early medical attention he received from the staff at the car dealership may have prevent a worse situation.

"Renton police said it probably made a huge difference," Vaidyanathan said about his coworker�s quick actions. "She was able to apply pressure to the wound right away.�

KOMO News is working to learn more.

Remember the DUBS craze? Putting twenty inch wheels on cars? Because 20" wheels are so ridiculous?

Those are 22"

Within my adult lifetime there was a moral panic about lazy black men putting 20" wheels on their cars instead of paying for their kids or whatever and now you can buy them straight from Chrysler.

yeah, it's important so that someone can get in that gap and brake check you.

nah if you continue to leave a big enough gap you can get a situation where all the tailgaters are brake checking each other and it's loads of fun to cruise 50 meters behind and watch and laugh at the morons

I heard growing up that those brick mailboxes were being taken out because of lawsuits from people who crashed into them but at this point I think they're a great idea. Honestly though you could always plant more trees. Toss a couple boulders in there til they get sufficiently big to slow a 10000 pound electric truck

In 1970 four teenagers on the cusp of graduation died in my front yard when they crashed their car into a tree after failing to negotiate a turn

The entire field of traffic engineering is built on the axiom that people are not good at driving.

Those jersey barriers are like the bumpers in bowling lane gutters.
