Seattle Police Department (SPD) detectives are investigating after an 18-year-old man and a 13-year-old boy were shot late Wednesday night in Pioneer Square.

SPD says dispatch received multiple 911 calls around 11:30 p.m. about shots fired at the 200 block of Yesler Way. Officers raced to the scene and found two male gunshot victims, both with leg wounds.

Seattle Fire Department medics transported both victims to Harborview Medical Center.

Anyone with information about this shooting should call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.

Shoplifters stopped in Bellevue, handgun recovered

Bellevue Police say officers recovered a loaded handgun with extra ammunition after arresting two shoplifting suspects Wednesday morning.

BPD says the 35-year-old male and 34-year-old female are accused of stealing approximately $500 worth of merchandise from an O’Reilly’s Auto Parts store in Factoria, then taking off in a stolen Dodge Charger.

Detectives followed the car on traffic cameras to Marshalls on 148th Ave NE, where someone flagged officers down to report the pair stealing from that store.

Officers approached the suspects as they left the store, and the woman gave up, but police say the male took off running.

Eventually, he was arrested and O’Reilly’s property was recovered and returned to the store.

Bellevue Police learned the male suspect is a convicted felon and was unlawfully in possession of a firearm. He also had someone else’s social security card.

Both are suspects in other thefts in Bonney Lake.

Tacoma Police Department (TPD) officers are looking for a man who officers said used a knife during an armed robbery at the Gamestop at 1625 E 72nd St.

Officers say the suspect had been in and out of the store during the evening of Sept. 7 and kept asking about gaming platforms.

TPD says the suspect is a Hispanic male, approximately 30 years old and 6 feet tall. He used the name Daniel Jordan when asked to enter his membership information before the robbery.

Man killed after shooting in Tacoma 

According to Tacoma Police, on Oct. 1, at 2:08 am, officers responded to a shooting victim in the 1400 block of St. Paul Ave.

TPD says a woman had called 911 saying someone had been shot and, while driving the victim to the hospital, she had car trouble.

Officers say they found an unresponsive male on the ground and immediately started life-saving measures. The 37-year-old man was rushed to a local hospital but later died from his injuries.

Police say that the caller left before they got to the scene.

Detectives and crime scene technicians identified a suspect, and probable cause was developed for an arrest.

Officers arrested the 49-year-old male suspect in Spanaway, who was booked into jail for murder in the second degree.
