Crimestoppers of Puget Sound announced that it’s offering a cash reward up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and charge of the suspect(s) involved in the shooting of a 14-year-old Burien girl shot by a .22 caliber bullet last Monday, March 18 (read our previous coverage here).
The girl, an 8th grader at Burien’s St. Francis of Assisi School, was shot in the torso near the 16400 block of 21st Ave SW while walking home around 3:30 p.m. on Monday. She was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, and released on Wednesday.
Police say that girl and her friends recall seeing a red car pass them at the time of the shooting. The vehicle has been described as an older four-door in good shape, and two white men were seen inside.
“When I talked to the girl today, she said she was feeling good but sore,” said St. Francis Principal Rosemary Leifer in a letter sent to parents on Wednesday. “Right now, she plans on returning to school on Monday. We all look forward to seeing her.”
Two King County detectives are currently working on this case, and patrols have also increased in the area around the school.
We have also heard that local residents and businesspeople are putting together a reward, and will post an update when we receive confirmation.
If you have any information about this shooting or suspect, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or submit one online here. All tips and calls are confidential.

I wonder if this was connected to the shootting in the south park/boulevard park area I think on king 5 news they showed a red car or suv in the boulevard park story I am not sure if it was one that just got hit or the car use in the crime who knows might be somthing to look in to
What did you say?
if you are trying to make fun of me grow up this type of childish stuff is not needed here i have a feeling the editor would agree
The Boulevard Park shooting is thought by police to be a suicide-murder related to a man distraught over an ex girlfriend.
I think it would be a verrrrry long stretch to assume that because the color of the vehicle is similar that two crimes are related?
In any case, since both of the people (driver and passenger) in the red SUV at Boulevard Park are deceased, that would certainly rule out their participation in any future crimes.
have you look at the times they happen the shotting of girl was on the 18th the other shotting was on the 20th with shots at location for the story
