The shooting reportedly happened shortly before 11 p.m., and detective Mark Jamieson told the television station that the Seattle Police Department’s gang unit was investigating the incident. At the time of that interview, Jamieson said they were still searching for details on a potential suspect. The Seattle Times notes that the victims’ wounds didn’t appear to be fatal.
