Police search for gunman after 5 injured in Seattle shooting
SEATTLE — A man opened fire on a crowd outside a convenience store in downtown Seattle, wounding five people and setting off an intense police search, authorities said.
Seattle Assistant Police Chief Robert Merner said four men and one woman were hurt after an argument near Pine Street and Third Avenue outside a 7-Eleven store near a busy bus stop.
“There was some type of argument that took place, a suspect walked away and then fired into crowd striking those individuals,” Merner said.
All five people shot were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said the condition of one woman and two men wounded improved by Wednesday night from serious to satisfactory condition.
