King County Sheriff鈥檚 deputies were holding a training exercise near the Renton Village strip mall where the altercation took place and heard the gunfire. Responding deputies attempted life-saving measures on the 17-year-old, but he died at the scene.

“It just goes to show you that we have a crisis and an epidemic in our communities all around the country really with this gun violence,” Renton Police’s Public Information Officer Meghan Black told . “A 17-year-old lost his life tonight.”

The 51-year-old shooter is cooperating with police, as of this reporting. According to court documents, the 51-year-old man is an off-duty security guard who was sitting in his car while his 13-year-old son was in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu class.

As he was sitting in his car, waiting for his son, the 17-year-old victim walked by with two friends on their way to return an airsoft gun to Big 5 Sporting Goods. The off-duty security guard got out of his car, confronted the boys and then allegedly shot the teenager multiple times.
