State Police Seek Driver Believed To Be Involved In I-5 Shooting

SEATTLE — The Washington State Police is seeking assistance from the public in identifying a person who they believe was involved in shooting at another driver last week.

State Police said on Tuesday that communications officers received a 911 call at 2 p.m. on Nov. 13 from a person saying that they believed they had been shot at by another motorist. The person told dispatchers that they were on driving north I-5 to the I-405 North and that as they were approaching the first overpass at the 405, they heard a loud noise, police said Tuesday.

They immediately pulled onto the shoulder of the highway and found a hole on the left side of their rear window and determined that the car had been hit by a bullet. At the time the driver heard the loud noise, they did not think to look at passing traffic as they believed something was wrong with their car, police said. According to a photo of the victim’s vehicle, the car that police said was hit by the bullet is a green Honda CRV.

The state police is hoping to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the incident or may have dash camera footage of the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Mauro with the state police by calling (425) 401-7746 or by email at Victoria.Mauro@wsp.wa.gov.
