Yesterday morning, residents of the 9400 block of 27 Av Sw were startled by the sound of gunfire, an incident that is under investigation by Seattle police. According to the Seattle Police Department Blotter, the call came in at 0121 hours, prompting an immediate response from local law enforcement.
Upon arrival, officers found evidence of a shooting, with a single bullet hole punctuating the window of a residence. Despite the potential danger, there were no reported injuries, a fact confirmed by the occupants, who were present but offered little cooperation with the officers, refusing to provide statements regarding the events that transpired. A bullet fragment, now with the police as evidence, was found at the scene. The Gun Violence Reduction Unit (GVRU) is also involved, reviewing the incident as the city's struggle with gun-related incidents continues unabated.
Surveillance footage was located and has been preserved as part of the ongoing investigation. The Seattle Police Department has not released further details on suspects or the possible motivation behind the shooting.
In the meantime, the Seattle Police Department urges anyone with information to come forward, stressing that silence and secrecy should not undermine safety. Information regarding the incident can be reported to the SPD tip line, with the assurance of confidentiality for those who fear retribution.
