Seattle police are investigating a shooting in the Capitol Hill neighborhood that left three people injured and triggered an active search for two or more suspects believed to have fled the scene.
According to preliminary information, officers responded to reports of gunfire in the busy Capitol Hill area and discovered three victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Emergency responders quickly rendered aid before transporting all three individuals to Harborview Medical Center for further treatment.
Authorities have not yet released the identities of the victims or provided updates on the extent of their injuries. Investigators are working to determine what led to the violence and whether the shooting stemmed from an altercation outside a nearby business or nightlife venue.
Witnesses described hearing multiple gunshots followed by panic as people in the area rushed for cover. Police secured the scene shortly after arriving and began gathering evidence, reviewing surveillance footage, and interviewing witnesses.
Seattle Police say investigators are searching for at least two suspects connected to the shooting. The individuals reportedly fled the area before officers arrived, and no arrests have been announced at this time.
Detectives continue to canvass the neighborhood for additional information and are urging anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or captured video footage to contact Seattle Police.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
