View Date:2025-01-11 13:29:32
One person was shot and killed Tuesday during a showing of a "Transformers" movie at a theater in Washington state, authorities said.
Authorities received the call about the shooting at around midnight on Tuesday, the Kent Police Department confirmed in a statement on Facebook. Kent is about 20 miles south of Seattle.
Police said officers arrived at the scene within a minute of getting the call and and saw a crowd of moviegoers exiting the theater and waving them over to the south entrance.
Officers found a 19-year-old man from Tukwila with a wound to his chest receiving CPR from one of his friends, police said. Officers immediately began lifesaving efforts, including CPR and placing a chest seal over the wound, according to police.
"The location of the suspect was unknown, so the officers carried the victim out of the theater to a safe location where medics had just arrived," police said.
But the man did not survive, according to police.
Additional officers arrived to the scene to help people evacuate and search for the suspect, described as a dark skinned male about 5'11, tall and wearing a ski mask, police said.
Detectives interviewed witnesses at the scene and impounded three vehicles that may have been connected to the shooting, according to police.
Police have yet to identify or locate the suspect but said they do not believe this is a random incident.
"This was a chaotic incident for both patrons and responding officers," Police Chief Rafael Padilla said in a statement."I want to commend the officers for their quick response in providing immediate aid to the victim, while simultaneously evacuating the theater. We have solid leads in this investigation, and I am hopeful that we will identify and apprehend the suspect soon."
