Two men were wounded Tuesday in a shooting outside a SeaTac apartment building, the King County Sheriff's Office reported.

Police arrested a 17-year-old boy who ran from the parking lot after the 12:30 p.m. shooting. Officers caught him and booked him into jail on a warrant for being a felon in possession of a firearm, but he was not arrested on suspicion of the shooting, sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said.

The shots were fired during an argument between four men at the Willows Lake Apartments at 3002 S. 208th St. Police were unable to find a second man who ran from the scene.

Both victims, in their 20s, were taken to Harborview Medical Center. One was seriously hurt with two or three gunshot wounds. The second was "winged" by a round and not badly hurt, Urquhart said.

The victims ran to the manager's office, where the manager called 911.

Two pistols were found in the parking lot. Officers found a third handgun in a wooded area nearby. Police were investigating the motive behind the shooting or how the men knew each other.
