A 23-year-old woman is fighting for her life after a late-night shooting occurred at a Seattle bus station. The Seattle Fire Department confirmed that the victim was in critical condition following the incident on Tuesday morning, as reported by KING5. The shooting took place on South Royal Brougham Way just after midnight.
The Seattle Police Department revealed they were on the scene by 12:45 a.m., responding to reports of a shooting near the corner of S Royal Brougham Way and 6th Ave S. The investigation prompted officers to temporarily block all eastbound lanes, creating a temporary snarl as they began to thoroughly sift through the evidence. According to FOX 13, details on the shooting are still limited at this time.
Subsequently, the injured woman was rushed to Harborview Medical Center, where she remains in critical condition. The active police activity was primarily focused on the area between Terminals 2 and 3 at the Greyhound station, indicating a significant event on the station's premises.
About two hours after the police arrived, the scene was reported to have been cleared. However, it remains unclear if any suspects were apprehended or if there were additional injuries as a result of the shooting. KIRO 7 is working to uncover further details regarding the circumstances that led up to this violent outbreak. With scant information on a possible motive or suspects, Seattle authorities are likely to continually piece together what transpired in those late hours outside the Greyhound bus station.
