A confrontation in a Bremerton apartment courtyard turned into gunfire late Thursday night, and by the weekend two men, one 18 and one 17, were under arrest and facing an attempted murder charge in Kitsap County Superior Court.
One witness said a group of men arrived together in vehicles, and that one of them, wearing a mask over his face, opened fire on two teenagers standing in or near the courtyard.
From a Falling-Out Between Friends to an Attempted Murder Charge Bremerton Police told reporters the individuals involved had previously been friends, and that the confrontation may have started as a dispute over a girl, a mundane origin for a shooting that left an apartment wall with a bullet lodged inside it.
Tracking the Nissan From Vehicle to Charge The path from a chaotic 911 call to a named suspect ran through the vehicles at the scene rather than a direct identification of the shooter.
Neither has been publicly named in the reporting available on the case, a gap that is common in Washington juvenile-adjacent cases in their earliest stages, especially where a minor's eventual charging status is still being finalized.
An 18-year-old faces an attempted murder charge and a 17-year-old was also arrested after a masked gunman fired at least ten shots in a Bremerton duplex courtyard Thursday night.
