At least two Kent men were hit by gunshots and two other men were injured during an altercation at about 9:15 p.m. April 18 in the 2700 block of South 256th Place on the West Hill of Kent.
Kent Police responded to a report of a fight and found one man lying in the street with a gunshot wound to his face, according to a Kent Police media release.
A second man also had a gunshot wound, a third man had a cut from an undetermined cause and a fourth man sustained a possible separated shoulder from the initial fight. Paramedics transported all four men to area hospitals for treatment, but police did not yet have details about their conditions.
Detectives plan to interview the victims to try to find out any information about a suspect or suspects and what led to the shooting, said Lt. John Pagel. No witnesses were located by officers and police did not see anyone fleeing the area by foot or vehicle.
Pagel said it did not appear to be a random shooting.
