Seattle's Chinatown-International District became the site of a violent altercation last night, resulting in a shooting that has left one man seriously injured and sent local law enforcement on a citywide search for the suspect. According to the Seattle Police Department's blotter, officers were dispatched near 12th Avenue South and South King Street at around 11:00 p.m. on May 27, following reports of gunfire.
Arriving at the scene, police found a 42-year-old man, who they discovered suffering from two gunshot wounds. The Seattle Fire Department provided immediate medical assistance to the gunshot victim upon their arrival before he was rushed to Harborview Medical Center, as reported at a serious condition. As officers processed the crime scene and gathered evidence, the suspect had already fled, remaining at large with no arrest made as of yet, as reported by the Seattle Police Department.
The investigation is still ongoing as detectives work to figure out what led to the shooting. Police are asking anyone with information or who saw what happened to come forward. The Seattle Police Department says they are actively gathering evidence to find and arrest the person responsible.
