The murder squad is investigating after a young man was shot near a highrise community in Scarborough.

A 911 call was placed at 5:45 p.m. after people heard shots from the parking lot that surrounds a highrise at 6 Glamorgan Ave., off of Kennedy Rd. south of Hwy. 401.

The parking lot of the highrise is cordoned off by police, as nervous residents mill around the building entrance. Roughly five suspects are being sought.

EMS crews found a man in his mid-20s with two gunshot wounds, at least one to the chest. He was rushed to a trauma centre with serious life-threatening injuries.

Crews ordered an ambulance rush after paramedics marked the man's condition CTAS-1, the highest urgency.

Suzan, a resident of the building who declined to give her last name, said she heard three or four shots from her apartment.

"I was scared," she said as she left the building with her young daughter. "I still am."

About an hour after the shooting, police escorted a woman and man, thought to be the victim's family away from the scene.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
