Mom wants justice for son, cousin shot outside Everett apartment complex
The Brief An 11-year-old and a 17-year-old were shot in Everett, and the suspect is in custody. The shooting, believed to be gang-related, occurred during an alleged graffiti incident. Detectives are investigating the details, adding the suspect was arrested nearby and is known to police. EVERETT, Wash. - An 11-year-old is fighting for his life after a shooting in Everett and police believe they have the person who pulled the trigger in custody. A 17-year-old was also hit. Police say the suspect, a 20-year-old man, opened fire on the group, who were allegedly putting graffiti on the side of a building. It happened at an apartment complex in Everett off of 21st Drive Southeast on Monday night at around 6:30 p.m. The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office says the shooting appears to be gang-related because of the nature of the graffiti. The 17-year-old victim's mom says her son, TJ, told her he was going for a walk around the complex, as he did most nights, and five minutes later, he and a cousin had been shot. "We just arrived home from the store," said the mom of the 17-year-old. "They walked outside and said they were going to walk around the apartment complex like normal, and not even five minutes later we heard gunshots." The mom says the other boy who was shot in the head is also a family member. "The 11-year-old victim is my cousin," she said. She says the boys did not know the shooter, who was accused of pulling up on a scooter before opening fire. "He was on a moped, a motorized scooter…and him and my cousin tried to run and they were hit before they knew it," said the mom. She says the two collapsed near a building, which is covered in graffiti. "My son first thought he got hit in the head, because all he kept feeling was fire something was burning. My cousin, all I heard was him screaming for help," said the mom. The 11-year-old was flown to Harborview with critical injuries, her son was treated at Providence and released. "It penetrated through the bottom of the jaw out to the other side," said the mom of the 17-year-old. The sheriff's office says deputies arrested the accused shooter about two miles away near 37th Drive Southeast. "He took off on foot, threw the gun, said Renee Cooper, Snohomish County Sheriff's Office spokesperson. The sheriff's office says detectives initially believed the victims were in a group that was spray-painting graffiti on a building when the suspect approached. "Saw a group of teenagers graffiting on a building. There was believed to be a verbal altercation between the two, and he shot them," said Cooper. The 17-year-old victim's mom disputes any claims the boys were part of any spray-painting of graffiti, saying they were shot near the street, and then ran towards the graffitied area to escape. "We just want justice, that's it, we want him to get put away, they are innocent, they didn't do anything," said the mom. FOX 13 reached out to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday night for clarification based on the mom's statements. Spokesperson Courtney O'Keefe sent a statement back Tuesday night, saying, "Detectives are still working out the exact details of the altercation. However, we received reports of the graffiti occurring and when deputies arrived the paint was still wet, and it was crossing out one gang's name/sign and was writing over it with another gang sign." The sheriff's office says that the suspect was also known to law enforcement. He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for assault.

Two shot dead in horror Irish bar gun attack in Costa del Sol as victims blasted while watching Champions League final
TWO people have been shot dead at a popular Irish bar in a Costa del Sol holiday resort. A masked man is said to have entered Monaghans Fuengirola and killed his victims in front of horrified tourists and expats enjoying a drink after the end of the Champions League final before fleeing in a getaway vehicle. 1 Some reports speak of two gunmen, although this has yet to be confirmed by police. Grisly pictures from the scene of last night's shooting, which occurred around 11.30pm, show a man lying lifeless on his back in shorts and a T-shirt by a drinks and meal blackboard on an outside terrace at the Irish bar. In other disturbing images police and paramedics can be seen surrounding the body of one of the victims, thought to be the same man, after he was covered under a blanket as shocked locals and holidaymakers looked on. There are no reports yet of any arrests, although police set up roadblocks in the area after the shooting to try to catch those responsible. Unconfirmed local reports are pointing to the horror crime being a possible gang-related shooting because of the way it was executed. The latest gun murders follow the fatal shooting nearly six weeks ago of a 32-year-old British man in nearby Calahonda. He was shot dead around 8pm on April 21 in a professional hit as he headed back to his car after finishing a football match with friends. The killers fled in a getaway car that was later torched. Police are investigating the brutal assassination as a drug-related gang shooting but have yet to make any arrests. The victim has not been named but was known to come from Liverpool. Reports at the time described the incident as the fourth shooting so far that month on the Costa del Sol, where rival gangs have increasingly used extreme violence to settle scores and a number of international mafias are known to have a base. Four days before the Calahonda shooting a 34-year-old man was rushed to the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella after being shot outside a nightclub in the famous Costa del Sol resort. INVESTIGATIONS ARE ONGOING National Police are investigating the latest attack. Monaghans Fuengirola describes itself online as a place 'where you can relax and spend the day enjoying great home cooked meals on a sunny terrace and watch live sporting events.' It also bills itself as a 'family friendly sports bar and restaurant located in Torreblanca, Fuengirola opposite one of the area's most popular beaches.' Torreblanca is to the east of Fuengirola town centre and a stone's throw from an area called Los Boliches. The Malaga branch of hard-right Spanish party Vox said in a post on X, referencing the series of recent shootings on the Costa del Sol: 'A new shooting in the province of Malaga, this time in Fuengirola. 'What are the Popular Party and the governing PSOE party waiting for to increase the presence of police and other state security forces on the Costa del Sol? 'We have been demanding urgent measures to end these shootings for several weeks now.'
