Seattle Rush-Hour Shooting Leaves One Dead, Seven Injured: ‘It Was Chaos’
WHAT HAPPENED?
A shooting on a downtown Seattle sidewalk Wednesday night left at least one woman dead and seven others injured from gunfire in an incident police believe stemmed from an argument between two men that escalated. According to news station KOMO, two male suspects are being sought. One of the injured is a 9-year-old boy, who is listed in satisfactory condition at a nearby hospital. KING 5 News reports a 55-year-old woman is in critical condition. Four men were treated and released, according to hospital officials. Witnesses to the rush-hour shooting told reporters that hundreds of people fled the scene as the gunfire erupted. “I just saw terror on people’s faces, they were all running,” Douglas Converse told KING 5. “It was chaos.”
