While the rest of the world was glued to soccer shoot-outs on the field, Lakewood, Wash., police were investigating the deaths of two men from a soccer related shoot-out off field. While the names of the victims have yet to be released, KOMO News is reporting two young men were killed after a soccer dispute escalated into gunfire on Saturday night. Police have said that one of them was an innocent bystander, and another bystander was injured by an errant bullet. Two gunmen were involved in the shooting—one is in the morgue and the other remains at large. Lakewood police did detain and question a suspect about the shooting, but he has since been cleared of involvement and released.
