Just after 2:30 a.m., a caller to 911 reported he had fired his gun after confronting a male and female in the act of stealing his truck from the parking lot of the Best Western Alderwood. Lynnwood police officers arrived and found a truck resting against the corner of a building and a man slumped over in the driver's seat. A woman was sitting outside the truck with gunshot wounds.
