FEDERAL WAY — An investigation is underway after a possible drive-by shooting left a man dead outside a community park in Washington, authorities said.

Federal Way police officers were called to a shooting Tuesday in a Westway neighborhood around 9 p.m., KOMO-TV reported.

Officers found a man in his 20s with an apparent gunshot wound at a community park about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Seattle, police said.

Emergency crews attempted life-saving maneuvers on the man, but he was declared dead at the scene, authorities said.

Investigators believe the shots came from a vehicle driving by the park. There is no known motive for the shooting.

Another man arrived at a local hospital shortly after the shooting with an apparent gunshot wound to his hand, authorities said. It is unclear if the incidents are related.
