SEATTLE — One person was shot during a bank robbery in the SoDo neighborhood in Seattle Friday afternoon, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).
The suspect got away on foot with an undisclosed amount of money, according to SPD. The FBI is assisting Seattle police with the search. Police declined to release a description of the suspect.
Police first received a report of a shooting at the bank on the 1900 block of 1st Avenue South shortly after 1 p.m., according to SPD.
The victim, a 34-year-old man, was shot in the stomach and was taken to Harborview Medical Center, according to the Seattle Fire Department. He is in stable condition.
"It's safe to say that for the people that were inside this bank, and for that person and for that person's family and loved ones, this is kind of almost the worst-case scenario, so it's hard to find the silver lining there when we do have someone who got shot," said Officer Valeria Carson with the Seattle Police Department.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call 911.
