Man Injured in Shooting

Man Injured in Shooting

A Hobart area man was shot once on the leg about 10:30 AM today. He was able to call 9-1-1 despite his injuries. The suspect fled before deputies arrived.

The victim, 49 years old, lived in a house in the 21600 block of 294th Ave SE, east of Maple Valley in unincorporated King County. His injuries were serious, but not thought to be life-threatening. He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center.

The motive for the shooting remains unclear, but it appears the victim knew his assailant.

The case remains under investigation.
