Update: One Man Injured in Officer-Involved Shooting in Bothell

A 68-year-old Edmonds man was shot by police in Bothell and taken to Harborview Medical Center for Treatment, police said.

Update at 7 p.m. Oct. 26 from police: 

At this time the Edmonds man is in surgery for his injuries. His current condition is unknown.

An officer-involved shooting occurred in Bothell early Friday afternoon, according to police. 

A 68-year-old Edmonds man was shot by police and taken to Harborview Medical Center for Treatment. No officers were injured in the incident and police are not saying at this time who shot the man or how many shots were fired.

The incident began in Edmonds at about 1:30 p.m. when a woman called police concerned that her husband was suicidal and leaving the house with a gun, according to Everett Police Officer Aaron Snell, who is also the public information officer with the Snohomish Multi Agency Reponse Team (SMART).

Officers were able to locate the man, who was in a silver GMC Sierra, at State Route 104 near Interstate 5 but when they tried to initiate a stop, he did not comply, Snell said.

Police from Edmonds, Bothell and Mountlake Terrace eventually became involved in pursuing the man and used spike sticks on State Route 522 in Bothell to slow the man down, according to Snell. The sticks reportedly worked, prompting the man to drive the damaged vehicle down 96th Avenue NE near Wayne Golf Course in Bothell, just north of Kirkland.

It was there, Snell said, that multiple shots were fired and the man was shot. He said it was unkown at this time if the man had attempted to leave the vehicle or if he had a gun. 

Three officers, one from Edmonds, one from Bothell and one from Mountlake Terrace, are being interviewed about the incident.  

KOMO reports that at least seven shots were fired into a pickup.

I have been extremely frustrated in the past in trying to effectively communicate with Frontier. MyRead More developing sense was one of very poor live support. I find it refreshing to see Frontier respond in a timely manner to this very public assertion. One can hope this is also occurring in your phone support, especially after hours...

I have spoken to Mr. Gaulke and assured him we are not cutting speeds in the Woodinville market (orRead More any of our markets). We are working with him to approach his technical issues from scratch and will do all we can to alleviate his concerns about his speeds. His business, and all the business from our customers in the Woodinville market is very valuable to us. While we are disappointed to receive feedback his service is not living up to our standards, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with Mr. Gaulke and keep his valuable business. We welcome inquiries from other customers if there is anything we can do to improve. Please reach out to me at 425.275.8579 and let us know how we can help.

Frontier has spent the past three years expanding broadband to hundreds of thousands of homes acrossRead More the US and increasing speeds in many of our markets. Mr. Gaulke’s experience and recount of his conversation with one of our reps comes as a surprise to us. We are checking our records to find out what the possible miscommunication could have been. In the meantime, let us be clear: We are not decreasing speeds in Woodinvile, or any of our markets for that matter. We will be reaching out to Mr. Gaulke to see if we can alleviate any lingering concerns. Christy Reap Frontier Communications
