In another incident, Seattle police are investigating a shooting that occurred early Thursday morning in the University District. The incident happened near Northeast 52nd Street and 15th Avenue Northeast before 5 a.m. When police arrived, the victim had already been taken to a nearby hospital in a private car. According to police, a possible fight at a house party spilled into the streets, leading to a suspect pulling out a gun and shooting into the crowd. A 16-year-old was shot in the knee and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect fled the scene and has not been located.
Police continue to investigate all three incidents.
