SEATTLE — Two men were hospitalized after a shooting at a south Seattle apartment complex on Monday afternoon.

As of Monday evening, a 45-year-old man was in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center. The other man was in serious but stable condition.

Shortly before 1:30 p.m., officers responded to the 7900 block of Rainier Avenue South for reports of shots fired. 

Officers found the two men with gunshot wounds.

The circumstances leading up to the shooting are currently unknown.

Those who live at and near the complex say the shooting scared them but did not surprise them.

Witnesses, like a man named Mano, are now left to deal with the aftermath. One of the bullets hit his car. He blames issues at the complex on people who don't live there.

"People all the time come.. sleep, smoke, sit in there," he said.

The city's Gun Violence Reduction Unit is leading the investigation. 

Anyone with more information is asked to call the Seattle Police Department tip line at 206-233-5000.
