A community is reeling after four teens were shot in drive-by shootings in Lynnwood within the span of a day and a half. Two Teens shot on Thursday night died from their injuries. FOX13
A Martha Lake man says he knew one of the teens who died in Thursday's shooting and described the young man as "compassionate" and a "great kid." . Police say they were standing near Spruce Park when someone opened fire. Initial reports indicated it may be a drive-by shooting. Witnesses reported seeing a car speeding away following the gunfire.
"Two or three months ago, they all went out to play basketball, and were hanging out, just doing what teenagers do," said Glenn. "All the way ‘til yesterday, my daughter was, saw him early in the morning, and he took off to go see his friends and about 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning, my son came in and told me," he said. "He was a great kid," said Glenn. "He had a lot of compassion. My health was not the best while he was around when he was a teenager.
"I heard some shots as if it was kind of like, fireworks at first, but as soon as I heard the shots, I saw a driver just go immediately right by," said Reche. "Right now, it’s going to little kids who probably haven’t even got done with school yet, and here they are freaking learning how to kill other people, man, just shooting it up," he said.
"I think it would be scary for him to be here alone and to see something like that happen…and to know the kids were so young as well. The violence in this world is getting out of control," said Lusita Brotton, Isaiah's mom.

In West Bank, Biden Embraces ‘Two States for Two Peoples'President Joe Biden has called for “two states for two peoples” — the Israelis and Palestinians — while visiting the West Bank on Friday. But he also acknowledged that the “ground is not ripe” at this moment for restarting peace talks between them. The stalemate has dimmed hopes for a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict, and millions of Palestinians continue to live under Israeli military rule. Biden announced more than $300 million in aid to the Palestinians. But American money is only a limited balm for a situation that has frequently flared into violence.
