2:46 AM: SPD and SFD are arriving in The Triangle after a report that someone might have been shot near 36th SW and SW Snoqualmie. No confirmation yet.
2:52 AM: Still no victim or evidence of a shooting found, police say. The just-in-case SFD response is waiting at Station 32 (38th/Alaska).
2:55 AM: One officer reports talking to someone in the area who is saying what sounded to one 911 caller like a “shot” might have been “a car backfire.” Another officer then reported finding a trail of blood leading “across 35th toward the encampment and the golf course.”
3:20 AM: Apparently that led nowhere – though they haven’t acknowledged it over the air, the SFD log shows the responding units have just been cleared and the call’s been closed.
9:31 AM: Here’s the SPD report narrative:
At approximately 0239 hrs on 04/14/2026, one call came in to 911 stating that a male had possibly shot another male near 36 AV SW and SW Snoqualmie St. The caller, who wanted to remain anonymous, first reported hearing a gunshot, then when asked if anyone had been shot, they reported that there was a possible shooting victim. While several units were enroute to the location, other callers called in reporting a fight involving 2-4 males in the same area.
Several units arrived in the area. Found on S Snoqualmie St, just east of 36 AV S, was a pair
of shoes in the street and several small blood droplets on the south sidewalk.A XXX male was found in the same block, around the corner. He stated that he heard guys fighting in the street, but said there were no shots fired. Another witness, listed above, said that, from her apartment window, she saw three males running eastbound towards 35th AV SW, one of them stated that he was hurt. She said that she heard one of the other males tell the injured male that he should call 911 and he said that he would not do so. She said a vehicle pulled up, one male handed something to someone in the vehicle and the vehicle left southbound on 36th. She also stated that she may have heard the vehicle backfire.
We followed the trail of small blood drops eastbound across 35th to a tent on the east side of 35th, but the tent was empty.
An extensive check for any victims or evidence of a shooting was conducted with negative results. The scene was photographed and released.
