SEATTLE — Two men were injured in a shooting late Sunday night outside a Ballard area bar, according to police. A suspect, a 39-year-old man, was apprehended shortly thereafter.
“Officers spoke to a lot of witnesses in the area and they were able to lead them to what the suspect looked like, and were able to find him in a nearby residence," according to a public affairs spokesperson for Seattle Police Department.
The Seattle Police Department said in a tweet just before 9 p.m. that it was investigating a shooting in the 7500 block of 15th Avenue Northwest. Police said a 35-year-old and a 43-year-old man were injured in a shooting at the Thunderbird Tavern.
The pair were rushed to the hospital, and they are believed to be in stable condition, according to police.
A witness said they saw one man lying on the ground near the bar's parking lot. Another witness told police they saw a man near the back patio of the Ballard bar. Bullet holes could be seen in the driver's door of a white sedan parked in business' parking lot.
Police said they do not know at this time if the suspect knew the victims, or if there was an altercation that led up to the shooting, but added that there is no ongoing danger to public.
