According to an update provided by police Thursday, a woman called 911 to report someone had a gun pointed at her boyfriend's head, shortly before several shots were fired.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a 27-year-old Kent man with a gunshot wound to his hand. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment. A short time later, a 21-year-old man was dropped off at Valley Medical Center with a gunshot wound to his torso. The second man was later taken to Harborview with critical injuries, but remains stable.
