A Kent man suffered a gunshot wound to the arm during an unknown type of dispute on Saturday at an apartment parking lot on the East Hill.
Officers responded at about 4:15 p.m. to reports of shots being fire in the 10800 block of Southeast 240th Street, according to a Kent Police media release.
Callers to 911 indicated a red car had fled the scene after shots were fired.
Meanwhile, shortly after the report of gunshots, officers heard the sounds of a vehicle collision in the 10800 block of Southeast 208th Street and discovered a red car had struck a telephone pole. Officers saw no occupants inside the car but found a man with a gunshot wound to his arm a short distance from the vehicle.
Paramedics transported the man to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for further treatment.
Preliminary information confirms that the man with the gunshot wound was in the 10800 block of Southeast 240th Street and that the vehicle that crashed also was in that area.
No other gunshot victims were reported. Police interviewed witnesses as well as the gunshot victim as they try to determine what led to the gunfire and the crash.
