A popular shopping center turned into a crime scene. Gunshots rang out at Kent Station shopping center on Monday as hundreds of people were milling around. Kent Police say someone shot an 18-year-old man around 12:40 p.m. in an alley next to Hair Master. The victim was rushed to Harborview where he was listed in serious condition. Kent Police say he was shot in the stomach and arm right outside a public restroom in the alley. The manager at Spring Kitchen says she heard the gunshots. “One of my customers said okay head down, they all run in the back,” Thao Huynh said. Huynh says 20 customers inside her restaurant ducked for cover, many of them running to the back of the store while she locked the front door. They were in that position for about 15 minutes until police officers told them it was safe to leave the restaurant. Detectives sectioned off the parking lot with yellow crime tape so dozens of people were not able to get their cars for hours.
