LYNNWOOD, Wash. rCo Snohomish County deputies arrested a 15-year-old boy Sunday night after a shooting in unincorporated Lynnwood.

Around 8:50 p.m., deputies were dispatched to a report of a shooting in
the 15900 block of Highway 99, where they found a 17-year-old boy with a gunshot wound.

He quickly pointed out the fleeing suspect to deputies, who quickly took
a 15-year-old boy into custody nearby.

The victim was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center with a non-life-threatening wound.

Deputies found a gun believed to be the weapon used in the shooting -- a stolen pistol with a 30-round extended magazine.

The 15-year-old boy was arrested and booked into the Denny Juvenile
Justice Center for investigation of first-degree assault, possession of
a stolen firearm, and unlawful possession of a firearm.

So is said 15 year old boy going to be tried as an adult or will AG
Brownpants be too busy ensuring that "Swifties" can afford tickets to
her next concert or suing Trump over something that he has no chance of winning? I mean if a 12 year old can make life altering decisions like deciding that taking puberty blockers is the right choice for them then
surely a 15 year old knows that attempted murder is wrong.

I wonder if this is the same kid, from Meadowdale HS, who shot another
student on Friday causing 4 surrounding schools to go in to lockdown? I havenrCOt heard that they caught that one and this is the same area

More gun laws will fix the problem. They always do! If you limit the
capacity of the magazine then criminals will comply right? Oh, you said
he had an 30 round extended magazine? My bad. I guess stupid laws don't
work.

Yeah, little Johnny will probably get a slap on the wrist good old mom
and dad will tell him not to play with guns again and ground him for a
couple days. Maybe take away his cell phone and that will be it and
he'll be right back out there doing it again start holding parents responsible.

That was a waste...... The city of Seattle contracted with Taylor for a 12-month, $150,000 agreement (approx. $12,500/month) to provide
expertise in community engagement, de-escalation, and alternatives to policing.

another shooter that didn't follow the magazine capacity law or
concealed carry law or the minor with a handgun law

its almost like liberals want to empower criminals
