UPDATE, 9:59 p.m., April 17
: Two people were grazed by bullets Saturday evening while standing outside a Burien apartment complex, but not seriously hurt, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
A witness said bullets were being shot into the sky, instead of directly at people in the incident around 6:30 p.m. according to initial information from dispatchers. A sweep of the huge complex, along the 13600 block of Ambaum Boulevard Southwest, didn't turn up any suspects.
