Reports of gunfire brought Lynnwood police to the 20000 block of 44th Avenue West around 2 p.m. Tuesday, where a woman was using a firearm in a residential neighborhood.
After conducting a search and securing the area – during which 44th Avenue West was closed for about an hour – police learned that a man had been giving the woman “shooting lessons” in the couple’s backyard. Officers then executed a search warrant to locate and confiscate the involved firearm.
In a statement, the Lynnwood Police Department reminded residents that firing a gun in a residential neighborhood is dangerous and illegal. They asked that those looking to practice with their firearms use a licensed shooting range.
Thanks to her, I was late picking up my grandchild from school. No doubt hundreds of others were similarly inconvenienced.
Where is the residential neighborhood at 44th & 200th sw? Looks like a transit center to me. Perhaps you want to do a little fact checking for the exact location.
This was the location police gave in the information they sent out. Possible that it referred to where they closed the street off when investigating the incident — perhaps someone from LPD can clarify here?
