Vancouver, Wash. –On April 17, 2021, at approximately 4:32 a.m., Vancouver Police responded to the 700 block of Waterfront Way for the report of a shooting. Justyn Vallandingham, 35 years of age, was delivering newspapers in the area and left his vehicle unlocked and running while he went to make a delivery, when he returned to his vehicle he saw an unknown male, identified as Kin Bossy, 29 years of age, sitting in the driver’s seat of his vehicle. Vallandingham pulled his concealed firearm and pointed it at Bossy, who then turned and leaned towards the center console of the vehicle.
