SEATTLE — A 14-year-old boy was killed in a shooting in Seattle's New Holly neighborhood on Thursday evening.
The Seattle Fire Department said crews responded to reports of a shooting in the 7400 block of Rockery Drive South just after 8 p.m. The boy was found on a sidewalk with a gunshot wound.
Paramedics transported the teenager to Harborview Medical Center where he died from his injuries, according to Brian Pritchard with the Seattle Police Department.
A vehicle sped away from the scene and the Guardian One helicopter tracked the vehicle to Everett.
