Man shot after pulling fake gun on armed seller during iPhone buy
A deal for an iPhone turned violent late Thursday night outside a bank in Everett, sending one person to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Two men arranged to meet at the BECU at 112th St. SW and Evergreen Way around 10:30 p.m. to exchange an iPhone. The man who was supposed to buy the phone attempted to pull a fake gun on the seller, but that seller pulled a real gun and shot the intended buyer several times, according to Everett Police.
Officers and medics arrived to find the victim with multiple gun shot wounds and he was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition.
Police said the seller was a security guard for another business, and they have not determined if he will face any charges.
