Kent police said they are looking for the driver of a blue van who reportedly pulled into a parking lot at the Lake Meridian apartments around 11 this morning and fired numerous shots at the boyfriend of a tenant.

The victim, who was hit in the face, buttocks, foot and leg, was headed into surgery at Harborview Medical Center this afternoon, police said.

The wounds did not appear to be life-threatening, medics reportedly told police.

Police spokesman Paul Peterson said that the incident began this morning when a 26-year-old woman, who lives in the apartment complex in the 14900 block of Kent-Kangley Road, and her boyfriend pulled into a parking spot.

A blue van immediately pulled up behind them and gunshots were fired into the passenger side of the tenant's car, police said.

The woman put the car into gear, drove over a curb and the lawn and sped off to a multi-care medical clinic in Covington, police said.

"She got out of there as fast as she could," said Peterson.

Medics responded to the clinic and transported the man to Harborview.
