Two Taken into Custody for Shooting Along I-5

I-5 was closed for several hours this past Friday as police arrested two men who had been firing assault rifles from the 92nd Street overpass over I-5. Local residents heard shots fired at around 9:30 p.m. Upon arrival, police heard gunfire within 50 yards and saw tracer rounds fired from a wooded area. A SWAT team was called in, I-5 was shut down, and roadblocks were set up. The suspects, who have not yet been named, were found and arrested after a two-hour search.

No one was hurt, although witnesses say that a significant amount of gunfire was heard. the P-I has onsite video.

After arresting the two (described as young men in their late teens or early 20s), police found a campsite near North Seattle Community College with ammunition and additional weapons. The placement of the camp has led police to speculate that the suspects may have planned to fire at cars on the freeway.
