On a quiet June evening in Lake Stevens, Washington, a group of teenage girls walked through their suburban neighborhood, celebrating a birthday. Moments later, gunfire shattered the silence—and their world.
As panic swept through the streets, more shots echoed across the city. Houses were hit. Children barely escaped harm. A peaceful community found itself under siege—but no one knew who was responsible, or why.
The investigation would lead detectives through a maze of ballistic clues, shadowy sightings, and a suspect hiding in plain sight. What began as a single, shocking act of violence soon unraveled into something far more disturbing.
What kind of person could unleash terror on an entire town… and still blend in like nothing ever happened?
