Two men were killed and one man was critically injured after a shooting outside of the Twin Lakes Safeway on Friday night, June 16 in Federal Way.

Around 11:25 p.m., Federal Way Police officers responded to the grocery store at 2109 SW 336th St., according to Cmdr. Kurt Schwan of Federal Way Police.

Officers found three shooting victims, all of whom are men in their 20s, according to Schwan. Two of the men were found in a parked vehicle and died at the scene. A third man was found nearby in the parking lot and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with critical injuries, Schwan said.

Police believe another vehicle pulled up to the mne’s car in the parking lot and an argument ensued, then a person from the second vehicle shot into the men’s vehicle, Schwan said. The vehicle, from which shots were fired, fled the scene.

Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Section and crime scene technicians processed the scene looking for witnesses and retrieving surveillance video from the area.

A 20-year-old man reportedly turned himself in at the Federal Way Police Department several hours after the shooting, claiming to be the shooter, Schwan said. Officers took the 20-year-old into custody and detectives interviewed him.
