Officers at the Candlewood Apartments after a shooting Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting of a man at an apartment on West Casino road Wednesday afternoon marks the third shooting in three weeks in the city of Everett.
On January 6th, a man was shot in the 2600 block of Lombard. Police say a lack of cooperation has hampered that investigation.
On January 17th, a man was shot in the 7700 block of Beverly Lane. Police say the victim did not have a lot of information on who may have shot him.
Tonight (January 21st), a man was shot at the Candlewood Apartments in the 1000 block of West Casino road. That investigation is currently ongoing.
The shootings have occurred in north Everett, central Everett and south Everett and police say there is no particular pattern to the three events. In case you’d like to know what types of crime are happening in your neighborhood there is a tool that can help you find out. A little less than a year ago, Everett Police announced that people living in Everett could visit a website called CrimeMapping.com that shows what crimes have been reported in different areas of the city. The website allows residents to analyze interactive maps of recent crime activity near any address. Users can learn about crime in their area by selecting crime types and date ranges to generate their own reports.
When they rolled out the program last February Everett Police Captain Greg Lineberry said, “We want citizens to be an involved partner in our efforts to reduce crime. Awareness of what occurs in the community and keeping everyone informed of crimes and crime trends is a proven and effective crime fighting strategy. SNOPAC police agencies are using this community-oriented policing initiative to improve communications and understanding between citizens and their law enforcement agencies.”
