Two men were shot and injured during what may have been an attempted robbery at about 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 11 at Garrison Creek Park, 9615 S. 218th St., in Kent.
A 47-year-old Des Moines man and a 44-year-old Kent man were shot and had non-life threatening injuries, according to a Thursday afternoon, Aug. 12 email from Assistant Police Chief Jarod Kasner. Paramedics transported both men to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
“Initial information is that it may have been an attempted robbery,” Kasner said. “There is limited suspect information. Detectives are investigating.”
The park is east of Highway 167 and about 0.5 miles southwest of Panther Lake Elementary School.
