Police investigating shooting at 10th Avenue and East Pine. Will update with additional information when available.
The department hasn’t released any other information about the shooting, with its spokeswoman telling The Seattle Times that she couldn’t confirm whether or not officers had faced hostility upon arriving at the scene. She said that the shooting happened around 2:20 a.m. near 10th Avenue and Pine Street.
Journalist Omari Salisbury tweet multiple pieces of information surrounding the shooting, including video recordings of the reported shooting.
According to Salisbury, Seattle police sent in an extraction team for the two shooting victims who were receiving first aid from CHAZ volunteer medics.
Salisbury also tweeted that there were two different shootings, but that they occurred within minutes of each other, happening a block apart.
Susan Gregg, a spokeswoman for Harborview Medical Center – where the victims were transported – confirmed to the Seattle Times that one of the victims had died while the other was still in the ICU.
However, one of Salisbury’s tweets indicate that the deceased victim had already passed away by the time the SPD extraction team had arrived.
Omari Salisbury@Omarisal#CHAZ / #CHOP – The @SeattlePD entered the zone with a force of about 10 officers. They asked the crowd to step back and that they were there to extract the victim out of the zone. The victim who was deceased at that time had just been transported a few minutes prior.
