A man was shot in the stomach in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood on Sunday, and the whole thing was captured in a bystander video that is now circulating online. The raw clip shows people bolting in different directions, with at least one person collapsing as others scramble to give aid. As of the station’s latest post, police had not announced any arrests.
According to KIRO 7, the recording was shared through the station’s Raw Video feed and appears to capture both the gunfire and the chaotic moments that followed. The outlet includes the footage but offers only basic context while investigators continue to work the case.
Police Seeking Witness Footage
As detailed on SPD Blotter, Seattle police routinely ask anyone who witnessed a shooting or recorded it on their phone or security system to hold onto that evidence and contact detectives. The department’s Violent Crimes Tip Line, listed in recent posts, is 206-233-5000 for tips or to coordinate sharing video with investigators.
Capitol Hill's Late-Night Violence Continues
The shooting adds to a run of late-night trouble on Capitol Hill this spring, including a May 18 incident outside a nightclub where three men were shot and wounded, prompting a citywide search for surveillance footage. Coverage such as nightlife turns chaotic has tracked a steady drumbeat of violent calls in the Pike/Pine corridor in recent months.
Investigators are urging anyone who was in the area on Sunday or who recorded video of the incident to preserve those files and call the Seattle Police Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000 or send tips through official SPD channels. Authorities have not released the victim’s name or identified any suspects, and the case remains an active investigation.
