Authorities say the first shooting happened early Wednesday morning around 12:10 a.m. at I-5 near the NE 50th St off-ramp. A person was driving a Ford pickup truck, when a white sedan pulled up on the passenger side and fired a shot, hitting the passenger door.
No one was injured in the shooting, but state troopers also have no description of the suspect or vehicle.
The second shooting happened at 10:30 a.m. on SR-167 near SR-18. Authorities say a semi truck was heading south on 167, when a car with no license plates pulled alongside and shot into the front of the truck.
No one was injured in this second shooting. The victim described the suspect vehicle as a sedan with mismatched paint, black rims and possibly a black hood. The suspect reportedly wore a ski mask.
WPS say these last two incidents now make 12 drive-by shootings in King County alone this year.
