Two 17-year-old suspects arrested after stray bullet kills Burien woman
The King County Sheriff's Office has arrested two 17-year-old suspects after a stray bullet killed a woman working in a Burien chiropractor's office.
Officials say a 39-year-old man and his 15-year-old son appeared to be the intended targets of the drive-by shooting Wednesday afternoon around the corner from Highline High School.
Neither the man nor his son were injured. Instead, one of the bullets pierced a window of the nearby chiropractor's office, fatally wounding a 51-year-old woman working at the front desk.
The Sheriff's Office arrested the teenagers Wednesday night. The Sheriff's Office claimeds the two are members of the United Lakotes Sureno street gang.
