A horrible week just got worse: Mass shooting reported in downtown Seattle
Authorities in Seattle have cordoned off an area near 3rd & Pine following a mass shooting in the heart of the city. We don’t know very much at this time, except that five people are said to be wounded and two have life-threatening injuries. The perpetrator(s) are unknown at this time and the investigation is ongoing.
Police have said they believe the gunfire resulted from a personal argument. A weapon, or weapons, were drawn and shots were fired into a crowd.
Via SPD’s Blotter:
As noted, the shooting is unconnected to large protests against Donald Trump that began at Westlake Center and have since moved to the University of Washington. Those protests have remained peaceful and now involve thousands of people.
