KENT — Police are checking surveillance video to identify a car that fled a Kent gas station after two men were fatally shot in an argument over blocking access to a pump.

It happened about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at a Shell service station.

Witnesses tell KOMO two men with music blaring parked in a way that blocked other customers. Two other men who complained were shot in an argument.

A Kent fire department spokesman, Kyle Ohashi, says medics from the city or a nearby King County station declared the victims dead at the scene.

A witness told The Seattle Times the suspect car is a black Cadillac.
