Police have arrested two teens in connection with a shooting that left two people injured Thursday.

The shooting happened just past 2:30 p.m. Thursday near Alderdale Park in the 2700 block of Southwest 340th Place, police said.

Officers found the two victims, ages 17 and 19, inside a parked Dodge Magnum. The man, a Kent resident, was taken to Harborview Medical Center with what police described as life-threatening injuries. He was last listed in critical condition. The teenager, of Federal Way, was also taken to the hospital. He is expected to survive his injuries.

Police believe the two victims were involved in some sort of drug transaction with the two teens accused in the shooting.

The arrested teens, ages 15 and 17, have been booked into the King County Juvenile Detention Center for investigation of first-degree assault.
