The Sedro-Woolley Police Department is actively investigating a weapons-related incident that occurred late Saturday night at Memorial Park, sending shockwaves through the local community.
The event prompted a rapid and coordinated response from law enforcement, who are now working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the offense.
According to the Sedro-Woolley Police Department, officers were dispatched to Memorial Park at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Saturday, July 5, following multiple reports of a weapons offense.
When officers arrived on scene, they found evidence consistent with a violent altercation and began immediate efforts to secure the area and assist any injured individuals.
Authorities have confirmed that all individuals known to be involved in the incident have been contacted, and several people were transported for medical treatment. However, as of now, the conditions of those injured have not been publicly disclosed.
Police did not confirm the nature of the injuries or the type of weapon involved in the incident, though it has sparked concern among residents familiar with the typically peaceful neighborhood park.
In a brief public statement, Sedro-Woolley Police emphasized that there is no ongoing threat to the community. “We want to reassure the public that this appears to be an isolated incident,” officials said. “There is no indication of a continued danger to the public.”
The department has since deployed both officers and detectives to the scene to continue processing evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing available surveillance or cellphone footage.
Sections of Memorial Park were cordoned off into the early hours of Sunday morning as investigators combed the area for any clues that might shed light on what happened and who was responsible.
Law enforcement officials are urging any members of the public who were present at the park around the time of the incident to come forward. “If you witnessed anything or captured video or photos related to the incident, we encourage you to share that information with the Sedro-Woolley Police Department,” the agency stated.
