A woman survived after being shot at the intersection of S. 136th and Ambaum Blvd. S.W. in Burien on June 1 at approximately 12:20 p.m.
According to the King County Sheriff’s Department, the woman was a passenger in the vehicle when an unknown male suspect opened fire, sending five bullets into the car and striking only the woman in her early 20’s. She was hit once in the upper body.
It is unclear whether she was specifically targeted or if there is a relationship between the victim and shooter, according to King County Sgt. John Urquart.
