Renton firefighter shot, injured in officer-involved shooting

Renton Police officer-involved shooting Renton Regional Fire Authority Valley Independent Investigative Team Harborview Medical Center

A Renton firefighter was injured after being shot by a suspect during an incident in Renton, Washington, on Thursday, November 5. The shooting occurred just before 8:30 p.m. in the Albertsons parking lot in the 4600 block of NE Sunset Boulevard.

Renton Police officers were called to the scene to assist the Renton Regional Fire Authority with an unconscious person in a vehicle. Upon arrival, officers reported hearing a gunshot, at which point a firefighter on the scene was struck. Officers returned fire, fatally shooting the suspect.

The injured firefighter was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and is reported to be in satisfactory condition.

Because the incident involved police officers, the investigation has been handed over to the Valley Independent Investigative Team. This multi-agency group includes investigators from Auburn, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, King County Sheriff’s Office, Renton, Port of Seattle, and Tukwila. Auburn Police are serving as the lead agency, and Renton Police staff are excluded from the investigation.
