ARLINGTON, Wash. — Witnesses say a woman was shot in her Arlington neighborhood Sunday afternoon.

According to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, at about 2:50 p.m., deputies responded to the 1900 block of 200th Street Northeast for reports of a shooting.

When they arrived, they found a 42-year-old woman with gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts, she died at the scene.

“She’s amazing,” said Amber Hardy, a close friend of the victim. “She was one of the best people I ever met in my life.”

Law enforcement agencies have not yet identified a victim.

Detectives said there was a verbal altercation between the woman and a 19-year-old man, who fired several rounds at the woman.

When deputies arrived, the 19-year-old man drove away.
