BURIEN, Wash. (AP) — A bail bondsman and another man were wounded in a shootout Tuesday night in Burien.

Both were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and are expected to survive.

King County sheriff’s Sgt. Cindi West told KIRO-TV the bondsman was watching a house for a wanted woman when a man came out with a shotgun and fired. The bondsman was hit with birdshot. He returned fire and wounded a man in a leg.
