The man was rushed to Harborview Medical Center with a life-threatening gunshot wound.

Police said witnesses reported an argument between the suspect and the victim in the Union Gospel Mission parking lot before the suspect pulled out a gun and shot multiple times.

Police have not yet provided information about the suspect, who they say got into a vehicle after the shooting.

This is the second shooting in Pioneer Square in two days. The Seattle Times reports a person was shot in the leg on Saturday afternoon two blocks east at the intersection of South Main Street and Second Avenue South. A juvenile was arrested in connection with that shooting, according to the Times.
