Just after 5:00 p.m. last night, officers responded to the shooting of a 14 year-old male outside the breezeway of an apartment building at Walden Pond Apartments (9900 12th Ave W). The 14 year-old was transported to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett where he later died from his injuries.

Just before 10:00 p.m., a citizen called 911 to report seeing a male believed to be the shooter at a bus stop on W. Casino Road. The male was contacted and taken into custody by law enforcement without incident.

During the interview, the 13 year-old suspect admitted to shooting the victim and led detectives to where he hid the gun. The gun was recovered as evidence.
