One teen is dead and another is in the hospital following an early morning shooting in Covington.

At around 3:45 a.m. on October 20, police say 911 calls started coming in for a shooting near an apartment complex on 16800 block of SE Wax Road.

Responding officers rendered medical aid to two male teens with life-threatening injuries until medical personnel arrived on scene, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
