Seattle police say the shooting happened outside a track meet at the West Seattle Stadium in the 4400 block of 35th Avenue Southwest around 7:30 p.m.

The man, who is in his 40s, was taken to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. He was later pronounced dead. Police are searching for a suspect and suspect vehicle, but said they had a limited description.
