(CNN) Eleven people were injured Monday night when a white van crashed into a Ross department store near Seattle, Washington state police said.

Two suspects tried to take off from the store's parking lot after shoplifting, but ended up smashing into the store, according to King County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Ryan Abbott. At least three people were critically wounded, including a 2-year-old boy and a 41-year-old man, police said.

"The fire and deputies got here really quickly and were able to start treating victims right away and that is most likely how we didn't lose anybody. Everybody is alive so far and everybody has been transported and is being treated at the best hospitals that we have," Abbott said.

Police were first alerted around 9:15 p.m., he said.

A woman was shoplifting inside the store and ran out, getting into the passenger seat of the white van that was in the parking lot, Abbott said.
