Seattle Police Department detectives are investigating after a man was killed and a second was injured in a shooting in Seattle’s Yesler Terrace neighborhood on Friday morning.
The shooting happened at the 1100 block of East Fir Street off of 12th Avenue at about 4:30 a.m. Friday.
When police arrived at the scene they found a 27-year-old man with a fatal gunshot wound. Seattle Fire Department medics declared the man dead at the scene.
The second victim was a 52-year-old man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He was transported to the hospital.
In an interview with KIRO 7, a neighbor said he heard gunshots and saw a tow truck had crashed into his apartment building.
“I got up this morning around 4:27 [a.m.], I heard a loud crash, followed by about four to five gunshots. As I’m leaving my apartment, I see somebody run past me and get into a white car. As I’m approaching the alleyway, I see a tow truck that is crashed into the side of our building. I also see a person lying down, kind of groaning at this point and is in a lot of pain, followed by another person with no clothes on. He got picked up by the paramedics and they escorted him off the premises,” neighbor Exavier Wilson said.
The shooting happened several blocks away from where two teens were shot Thursday.
