A 21-year-old woman was killed and five others were

early Sunday morning.
Seattle Police say shots were fired just before 2 a.m.
Sunday at a home near Renton Avenue S. and Lindsey

Police were called to the home two times earlier in the
night before receiving reports of gunfire. Two people were
arrested around 9:00 pm after a report of domestic
violence. Officers were called back out around 11:30 pm
for a noise complaint.
Witnesses say someone in the backyard fired shots into the
air. At least 20-30 shots were heard in the incident.
Hundreds of people scattered from the area.
The 21-year-old woman died at Harborview Medical Center
from a fatal gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Two females, 17 and 18-years-old, two 20-year-old men, and
a 21-year-old man, were also injured.

several people fired shots at the party.
