SEATTLE — Seattle police are investigating after four people were injured in a shooting during an illegal street racing event overnight in Capitol Hill.
The Seattle Police Department said officers responded to reports of a large crowd gathering and vehicles driving recklessly at the intersection of Broadway and E. Pike Street at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
Police said officers were initially met with resistance but remained at the scene to respond to any life-safety events.
Just before 4 a.m., officers heard gunfire and found two victims at the intersection. One of the victims, a man in his late 20s, was treated at the scene. The second victim, a woman in her 20-30s suffered life-threatening injuries and is in critical condition. Both were transported to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.
A third victim made contact with police officers several blocks away but did not remain at the scene, according to police. She later arrived at the hospital for treatment. A fourth victim, with non-life-threatening injuries, also later arrived at the hospital for treatment.
Police said officers heard additional gunfire near the 1400 block of Harvard Avenue and made contact with a man who said he was shot at. Officers found shell casings, but no suspect.
No suspects have been identified at this time.
