Early on July 18, Washington State Patrol (WSP) troopers were on a traffic stop on southbound I-5 North of S. 272nd Street when they heard sounds they recognized as gunfire, according to a press release.

The troopers saw two vehicles driving fast approaching their location and witnessed the occupants firing weapons at each other. The troopers attempted to overtake the vehicles, but were unable to. The troopers lost sight of the vehicles, but believed they exited to S. 272nd Street, the press release states.

No injuries were reported in the shooting.

WSP Public Information Officer Trooper posted dashcam video online Tuesday and on X, formerly known as Twitter, that, “It is believed that the two vehicles were sedans, one red and one white.”

WSP detectives still are seeking witnesses or any information that may help solve the case.
