According to a report in My Edmonds News, Edmonds police said that a wallet theft in Shoreline led to at least four shots being fired in the 24000 block of Edmonds Way early Saturday, August 15.
A YouTube video of the incident was released by police and can be seen here.
According to police spokesman Sgt. Shane Hawley, officers were called around 3am Saturday to the scene, where shell casings were found.
The incident started when a Shoreline man reported that two unknown women stole his wallet, Hawley said. He followed them after they ran off and watched them jump into a four-door, maroon-colored car.
That car was driven by a black male of an unknown age, who yelled at the victim, “I have a gun.” The victim hailed a ride and followed the suspects to Edmonds, where the gunman stopped his car, got out and ran toward the victim's car, firing bullets in the air.
No one was hurt during the encounter, Hawley said.
The women were described as a white female, 5-5 and about 120 pounds, and a black female, 5-10 and about 160 pounds. The black female was thought to be in her 20s and had a nose ring.
The suspect fled the scene in the maroon car. This case is still under active investigation by Edmonds police and anyone with information is asked to call the Edmonds Police Department at 425-771-0200.

And why was the victim's race not disclosed? Had all the perps been white and the victim black, it would have been reported for sure.
Wow. Talk about brazen. They were pros. Notice the beeotch in the back seat hardly bothered to worry about a stop and shots being fired. She just keeps going through the guys wallet.
Anonymous...the victims age and race were not disclosed because he is not being sought. A description of the vehicle, with a small amount of info on the perps is all they have to go on for leads. He gave the best description he could, including approximate age of one and a description of jewelry.
@2:52 - I'm not saying the victim's race should have been disclosed. I'm saying there is a double standard in play. If the perps were all white, and the victim was black, THAT would have been the story.
