Police investigating possible drive-by shooting in Sammamish
A man has died after a possible drive-by shooting in Sammamish. An investigation is underway.
SAMMAMISH, Wash. - An investigation is ongoing in Sammamish where a man is dead following a possible drive-by shooting at a home on East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast.
Now detectives are looking into who the suspect or suspects are and what led up to this shooting.
"Very unsettling," said Michele Azelby, a nearby neighbor.
"Just stunned," said Greg Farmer, another nearby neighbor. "I didn't even know what was happening. Then I saw everybody down the street, came out to see what was going on."
The call to 911 first came in for shots fired just before 1:30 a.m. The King County Sheriff's Office responded along with Sammamish Police.
When they got inside the house, deputies found a man in his 60s with a gunshot wound. It's unclear how many people were inside the house at the time of the shooting.
"The bullet holes in the window," said Diana Merritt, a nearby resident. "Which, if you just turn 180 degrees, that would be my window."
Investigators haven't identified the man or released any suspect information.
Neighbors told FOX 13 this is a relatively quiet area to live in. While we don't know what led up to this shooting, it does give some people pause.
"I don't know if it's random, if it's targeted," Azelby said. "But it makes you think twice."
"I want to know what's going on in my community," Merritt said. "I want to know that I'm safe, and I can just have peace, be peaceful in my area."
